Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alta Vista

25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. At $1,071 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of San Antonio commands. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.8% against 11.3% nationally.

Court records carry 237 eviction filings across 9 observed years. The worst year on record was 2008, when 6.2% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 4.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters.

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