87% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the high side is economic stress at 8.8/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. That places it #1 of 24 neighborhoods in Pueblo.
For a like-for-like read, Bojon Town and Bessemer score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $24,342.
One tract means one number: 5.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
