Analysis

What drives eviction risk in River Road

This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $42,917, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Cost burden runs 55% here against 48.2% across Bexar County.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Bexar County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. The filing record is not thin: 823 evictions over 9 years of observation. At $1,153 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of San Antonio commands.

The worst year on record was 2007, when 12.2% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Antonio. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

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