Gina Ortiz Jones has not been in office long enough to be scored — attribution opens two years in, the same rule applied to governors.

Sources: unemployment BLS Local Area Unemployment Statistics · median household income Census ACS 1-year, CPI-U deflated · poverty rate Census ACS 1-year (B17001). Unemployment runs through 2025; income and poverty through 2024. The 2025 unemployment point is an eleven-month average — October 2025 was never collected during the federal shutdown — and it is included and flagged here under the same rule the state pages apply to the same statistic (one statistic, one rulebook, as of v2.6; through v2.5 city pages excluded it instead, and the changelog says so).

Scored on economic outcomes only — unemployment, real median income and poverty. Crime, housing and health are not yet included, so this is a narrower measure than a governor’s. Government form follows standard reference classifications and was not verified city by city. Methodology

San Antonio sits in TX, whose governor Greg Abbott holds a scored statewide record (No. 22 of 29). State outcomes are not the mayor’s grade — a city is not a state — but they’re the nearest verified context today.
