Castle Hills Forest maps to a single census tract in San Antonio, TX and houses 8,646 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Cost burden runs 40% against 32.0% citywide, putting Castle Hills Forest 7.6% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 106 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 2.1% of renter households. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
Recent filings have not receded much: 1.5% in 2008 against a 2.1% peak. At $1,217 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of San Antonio commands.
That places it #60 of 88 neighborhoods in San Antonio. The closest comparables inside the same city are North San Antonio Hills and Deer Hollow.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
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.
