Paradise Hills takes in 3 census tracts of Albuquerque, NM, population 13,595. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Albuquerque rate of 31.4%.
29% 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. At $1,449 a month, rents sit 27% over what the rest of Albuquerque commands.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.9. A 1.9-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Filings are well documented here: 2,333 across 3 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 34.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 14.3% in 2014, is well off that peak. That places it #29 of 40 neighborhoods in Albuquerque.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Ventana Ranch and Casa Grande/South Glenwood Hills. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
