Chestnut Springs is a one-tract neighborhood of San Antonio, TX and houses 2,667 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.9/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the San Antonio rate of 32.0%.
100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.1/10. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
At $1,218 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of San Antonio commands. That places it #39 of 88 neighborhoods in San Antonio.
For a like-for-like read, Middleton and Elm Creek score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $46,759.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
