San Antonio MSA

Sandy Oaks, Texas, leads the state and San Antonio MSA in rent burden — with 80.7% of renters spending more than 30% of income on housing. This is not a story about low income. It’s about a market where supply cannot keep up with demand, even in high-income neighborhoods. The data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s latest report: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-20-sa-msa-rent-burden-place-mkt. This isn’t just about affordability — it’s a signal of structural housing shortage. How is your community coping?
