Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Elm Creek

The severe-burden share is 25%, 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. 71% 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.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 260 filings here across 9 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2008 at 2.6% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 49% of renters.

It tracks the Bexar County average of 4.1 closely.

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