Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Prospect Hill

Disability prevalence runs 47.1% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Against the Bexar County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 127 filings here across 9 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2003 at 6.1% of renter households. 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 3.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.7/10.
