Blue Star Eviction Risk: Moderate
3 census tracts · pop 10,812 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 3–5.2
Blue Star is a 3-tract neighborhood of San Antonio, TX, population 10,812. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.2, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Against a San Antonio baseline of 32.0%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $1,561 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of San Antonio commands. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filings are well documented here: 560 across 3 observed tracts.
Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 8.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2008, is well off that peak.
Among the 88 mapped neighborhoods of San Antonio, it ranks #30 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Beacon Hill and Denver Heights. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $70,750. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
