Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Jefferson

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 23.2% against 11.3% nationally. Court records carry 144 eviction filings across 9 observed years.

At $1,479 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of San Antonio commands. The worst year on record was 2008, when 5.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 3.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.1/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. 47% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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.
