Journal Center Eviction Risk: Lower , Albuquerque

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.8/10.

At $1,500 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of Albuquerque commands. It sits 1.3 points below the Bernalillo County average of 4.3. SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 9.8% against 17.8% nationally. On the high side, local political climate reads 7/10. The voucher gap is 12.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NM average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
