· range 3.7–5.2
Beacon Hill takes in 2 census tracts of San Antonio, TX, population 5,227. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Cost burden runs 41% against 32.0% citywide, putting Beacon Hill 8.6% over its own city.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.7 to 5.2. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
At $1,048 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of San Antonio commands. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filings are well documented here: 223 across 2 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 4.1% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.7% in 2008 against a 4.1% peak.
That places it #30 of 88 neighborhoods in San Antonio.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
