Wildhorse is a one-tract neighborhood of San Antonio, TX and houses 14,802 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $1,799 a month, rents sit 36% over what the rest of San Antonio commands.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The voucher gap is 19.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The filing record is not thin: 40 evictions logged in this tract.
Cost burden runs 28% against 32.0% citywide, putting Wildhorse 4.4% under its own city. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 7.8% of renter households. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
Recent filings have not receded much: 7.3% in 2008 against a 7.8% peak. Among the 88 mapped neighborhoods of San Antonio, it ranks #60 by risk, the lower third.
At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
