East Side takes in 2 census tracts of Pueblo, CO and houses 8,111 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Pueblo rate of 31.9%.
30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
Average gross rent is $976, 10% below the Pueblo average of $1,082. That places it #8 of 24 neighborhoods in Pueblo. The closest comparables inside the same city are Belmont and Mesa Junction.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.7 points apart at the extremes.
Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $39,153. 48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
