Mesa Village is a 2-tract neighborhood of Albuquerque, NM, population 9,998. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Albuquerque baseline of 31.4%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.1/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Filings are well documented here: 1,657 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 14.4% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 11.2% in 2014 against a 14.4% peak. That places it #28 of 40 neighborhoods in Albuquerque. The closest comparables inside the same city are Casa Grande/South Glenwood Hills and Ventana Ranch.
Against average income of $66,805, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,083, close to the Albuquerque average. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
