Pueblo Alto Eviction Risk: Moderate

4 census tracts · pop 13,493 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.4/10 · range 3–5.7

Pueblo Alto is a 4-tract neighborhood of Albuquerque, NM, population 13,493. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, Moderate tier. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.7, a 2.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Cost burden runs 41% against 31.4% citywide, putting Pueblo Alto 9.1% over its own city. 20% 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.

Court records carry 2,409 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 8.7% of renter households. Among the 40 mapped neighborhoods of Albuquerque, it ranks #21 by risk, the middle third.

Judgments average 3.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Candlelight Park and Journal Center score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Average gross rent runs $1,102, close to the Albuquerque average. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.7 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.
