Eldorado Heights is a 2-tract neighborhood of Albuquerque, NM and houses 7,852 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Albuquerque rate of 31.4%.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.5. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.5/10.
Filings are well documented here: 2,418 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 19.6% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,259, 10% above the Albuquerque average of $1,145.
Among the 40 mapped neighborhoods of Albuquerque, it ranks #31 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 3.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Paradise Hills and Ventana Ranch score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $83,680, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
