Columbia Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate , San Antonio

Cost burden runs 62% here against 48.2% across Bexar County. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Set annual rent against average income of $41,354 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Bexar County average of 4.1. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 109 filings here across 9 tracked years.

At $1,191 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of San Antonio commands. The worst year on record was 2000, when 4.5% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 3.0% of renter households face a filing.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
