Alta Vista is a one-tract neighborhood of San Antonio, TX, population 2,739. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 51% against 32.0% citywide, putting Alta Vista 18.5% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 25% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. At $1,071 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of San Antonio commands. Court records for this tract carry 237 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 6.2% of renter households. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
That places it #35 of 88 neighborhoods in San Antonio. Judgments average 2.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Brooks and Terrell Wells score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $56,000.
50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
