Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Denver Heights

Average gross rent is $772, 42% below the San Antonio average. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 29.4% against 11.3% nationally.

Against Bexar County at 48.2%, 59% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 185 evictions over 9 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2008, when 4.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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