Oak Park takes in 6 census tracts of San Antonio, TX and houses 26,019 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the San Antonio rate of 32.0%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. 16% 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.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Court records carry 863 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 13.4% of renter households. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
Average gross rent is $1,425, 8% above the San Antonio average of $1,324. That places it #50 of 88 neighborhoods in San Antonio. Judgments average 1.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Westbury Place and Bavarian Forest score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $86,985, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
