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 Prospect Hill

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 45.1% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Disability prevalence runs 51.8% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,020, 23% 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 129 eviction filings across 9 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 6.6% of renter households were served.

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.
