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

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. At $549 a month, rents run 59% under what the rest of San Antonio commands.

Disability prevalence runs 56.5% against 31.5% nationally. Adults with no health insurance runs 49.5% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 75%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Cost burden runs 62% here against 48.2% across Bexar County. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $19,037, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against the Bexar County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Court records carry 752 eviction filings across 9 observed years.

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.
