Cielo Vista Eviction Risk: Lower

Cielo Vista is a one-tract neighborhood of San Antonio, TX and houses 11,026 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

At $1,678 a month, rents sit 27% over what the rest of San Antonio commands. 17% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.5/10.

Cost burden runs 37% against 32.0% citywide, putting Cielo Vista 5.1% over its own city. The filing record is not thin: 26 evictions logged in this tract. The voucher gap is 11.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 1.2% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10. Among the 88 mapped neighborhoods of San Antonio, it ranks #60 by risk, the lower third.

Judgments average 0.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. 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.

45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
