Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in La Villita

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $42,823, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Bexar County average of 48.2%.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 320 filings here across 9 tracked years. Against the Bexar County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 4.7% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
