Wetmore Eviction Risk: Lower

5 census tracts · pop 25,672 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3–3.5

Wetmore takes in 5 census tracts of San Antonio, TX and houses 25,672 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

At $1,596 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of San Antonio commands. Filings are well documented here: 888 across 5 observed tracts.

34% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 22.3% of renter households. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10.

The most recent observed rate, 6.8% in 2008, is well off that peak. That places it #56 of 88 neighborhoods in San Antonio. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The 5 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $83,190. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
