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

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.1/10. The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Against Bexar County at 48.2%, 36% of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $926, 30% below the San Antonio average.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Disability prevalence runs 44.7% against 31.5% nationally.

Against the Bexar County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 178 evictions over 9 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 8.4% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
