Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Albuquerque

What moves this score most is economic stress at 9.7/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Albuquerque eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Bernalillo County average of 6.1 and above the New Mexico statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 3,078 eviction filings here over 15 tracked years, with about 18.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 21.8% of renter households in 2011.

The tract is Hispanic or Latino and White and ranks around the 100th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
