Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Denver Heights

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 31.8% against 11.3% nationally.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Bexar County average of 4.1.

Court records carry 198 eviction filings across 9 observed years. The worst year on record was 2003, when 9.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Antonio. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
