Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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

Adults with no health insurance runs 40.3% against 11.3% nationally. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. At $958 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of San Antonio commands.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.7% against 31.5% nationally.

The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Bexar County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Court records carry 156 eviction filings across 9 observed years. The worst year on record was 2008, when 6.5% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
