What drives eviction risk in Columbia Heights
Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running hot, economic stress reads 8.7/10. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $39,355, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
Disability prevalence runs 45.0% against 31.5% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,051, 21% below the San Antonio average.
Against the Bexar County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Court records carry 382 eviction filings across 9 observed years. Filings peaked in 2000 at 14.9% of renter households.
