Amhurst Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,444 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Amhurst maps to a single census tract in San Antonio, TX and houses 6,444 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

23% 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 economic stress, at 1.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,662, 26% above the San Antonio average of $1,324.

39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the San Antonio rate of 32.0%. The filing record is not thin: 78 evictions logged in this tract.

Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 16.5% of renter households. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10.

The voucher gap is 10.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The most recent observed rate, 6.2% in 2008, is well off that peak. Among the 88 mapped neighborhoods of San Antonio, it ranks #60 by risk, the lower third.

Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wynwood at the Villages of Westcreek and Deer Hollow. Against average income of $109,250, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
