Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Denver Heights

30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 9/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Bexar County average of 48.2%. It sits 1.1 points above the Bexar County average of 4.1.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 312 filings here across 9 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,197, 10% below the San Antonio average.

The worst year on record was 2007, when 11.4% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Antonio. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 7.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
