South Los Altos spans 2 census tracts of Albuquerque, NM and houses 7,415 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Albuquerque baseline of 31.4%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
SNAP participation is 38.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 38%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
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. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 8/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.
At $946 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Albuquerque commands. Disability prevalence reaches 43.6% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. That places it #1 of 40 neighborhoods in Albuquerque.
For a like-for-like read, Pershing Park and Kirtland Addition score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $47,465.
39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
