Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Columbia Heights
The severe-burden share is 33%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.
Disability prevalence runs 48.1% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. 42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Bexar County average of 48.2%. It sits 1.1 points above the Bexar County average of 4.1.
The filing record is not thin: 262 evictions over 9 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2004, when 6.9% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.
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.
