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 San Antonio

66% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Bexar County average of 48.2%. Adults with no health insurance runs 45.6% against 11.3% nationally. Annualized rent equals 46% of average household income of $26,861, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 49.2% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

At $1,019 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of San Antonio commands. It sits 1.1 points above the Bexar County average of 4.1. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 254 filings here across 9 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 6.7% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
