Lee Acres takes in 3 census tracts of Albuquerque, NM, population 13,037. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.9/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 31.4% citywide, putting Lee Acres 22.1% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.8. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. Court records carry 1,447 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 10.1% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,035, 10% below the Albuquerque average of $1,145.
The most recent observed rate, 4.8% in 2014, is well off that peak. Among the 40 mapped neighborhoods of Albuquerque, it ranks #25 by risk, the middle third.
At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $73,346, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
