Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Texas Medical Center

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $50,495, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Bexar County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Court records carry 152 eviction filings across 9 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2008 at 7.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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