Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Woodlawn Lake

The severe-burden share is 34%, 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. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the high side, economic stress reads 8.8/10. Disability prevalence runs 47.1% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

At $964 a month, rents run 27% under what the rest of San Antonio commands. It sits 1.1 points above the Bexar County average of 4.1.

The filing record is not thin: 106 evictions over 9 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2003, when 3.3% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 2.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.3/10.
