Shadow Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Albuquerque, NM and houses 2,884 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Albuquerque baseline of 31.4%, 3% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. At $1,498 a month, rents sit 31% over what the rest of Albuquerque commands. Court records for this tract carry 81 eviction filings.
4.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The voucher gap is 12.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 2.1% of renter households. 5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2014, is well off that peak. Among the 40 mapped neighborhoods of Albuquerque, it ranks #36 by risk, the lower third. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
