Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 Prospect Hill

Adults with no health insurance runs 45.3% against 11.3% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 51.6% against 31.5% nationally.

At $850 a month, rents run 36% under what the rest of San Antonio commands. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

It sits 1.1 points above the Bexar County average of 4.1. Court records carry 30 eviction filings across 9 observed years. The worst year on record was 2001, when 1.9% of renter households were served.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
