Chelwood Park takes in 4 census tracts of Albuquerque, NM, population 14,172. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 29% of renter households. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.5/10.
12% 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. Filings are well documented here: 3,592 across 4 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 15.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 7.0% in 2014, is well off that peak. Among the 40 mapped neighborhoods of Albuquerque, it ranks #25 by risk, the middle third.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,111, close to the Albuquerque average.
36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
