Brooks spans 5 census tracts of San Antonio, TX, population 22,728. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, Moderate tier. Against a San Antonio baseline of 32.0%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 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.
At $959 a month, rents sit 28% under what the rest of San Antonio commands. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Filings are well documented here: 909 across 5 observed tracts. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 25.8% of renter households. That places it #35 of 88 neighborhoods in San Antonio.
Judgments average 4.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $56,645. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
