Laurel Bend is a 2-tract neighborhood of San Antonio, TX and houses 8,974 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Against a San Antonio baseline of 32.0%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,747, 32% above the San Antonio average of $1,324. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The voucher gap is 16.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Court records carry 217 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 7.7% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 6.1% in 2008 against a 7.7% peak. That places it #45 of 88 neighborhoods in San Antonio. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Iron Mountain Ranch and Monte Vista. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.4 points apart at the extremes.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $84,340.
With little internal variation, 3.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
