Old Town maps to a single census tract in Albuquerque, NM, population 3,865. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Among the 40 mapped neighborhoods of Albuquerque, it ranks #15 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Arenal and Martineztown-Santa Barbara score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $52,058.
42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
