Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Valley
The score leans hardest on housing court bias at 7.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Bernalillo County average of 6.1 and below the New Mexico statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 16.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 9.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 640 eviction filings here over 15 tracked years, with about 32.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 40.7% of renter households in 2000.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
