Barelas Eviction Risk: Moderate
4 census tracts · pop 13,523 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 4.6–5.7
Barelas is a 4-tract neighborhood of Albuquerque, NM, population 13,523. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 31.4% citywide, putting Barelas 23.7% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. At $902 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Albuquerque commands. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.6 to 5.7, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
20.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Court records carry 2,147 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
Food insecurity affects 28.3% of adults, 10.5 points above the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 12.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.2% in 2014, is well off that peak.
Among the 40 mapped neighborhoods of Albuquerque, it ranks #9 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Netherwood Park and La Cuesta score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
