Nob Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate

5 census tracts · pop 13,258 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 3.7–5.7

Nob Hill is a 5-tract neighborhood of Albuquerque, NM, population 13,258. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Albuquerque baseline of 31.4%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

23% 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. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 3.7 to 5.7. A 2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. Court records carry 2,016 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Filing activity peaked in 2000 at 14.3% of renter households. At $1,039 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Albuquerque commands.

The most recent observed rate, 6.8% in 2014, is well off that peak. That places it #16 of 40 neighborhoods in Albuquerque. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.6 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.
