Great Northwest is a 6-tract neighborhood of San Antonio, TX and houses 36,176 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the San Antonio rate of 32.0%.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 23% 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.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.4/10. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.1, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Court records carry 968 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 8.7% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
At $1,213 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of San Antonio commands. Among the 88 mapped neighborhoods of San Antonio, it ranks #50 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 3.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
