Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Arenal
The score leans hardest on housing court bias at 7.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Albuquerque eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Bernalillo County average of 6.1 and above the New Mexico statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.59x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
In CDC survey modeling, about 21.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 13.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
