Bavarian Forest spans 3 census tracts of San Antonio, TX, population 11,816. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 32.0% citywide, putting Bavarian Forest 11.3% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. At $1,600 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of San Antonio commands. 15% 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.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 146 across 3 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 15.0% of renter households. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
That places it #50 of 88 neighborhoods in San Antonio. Judgments average 3.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Westbury Place and Oak Park score within a fraction of it.
Its 3 tracts score within 0.9 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $91,080.
With little internal variation, 3.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
