· range 3–4.7
Ventana Ranch takes in 6 census tracts of Albuquerque, NM, population 26,604. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Albuquerque rate of 31.4%.
The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $1,485, 30% above the Albuquerque average of $1,145.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.4/10.
Court records for this tract carry 692 eviction filings. The voucher gap is 11.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 17.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 6.1% in 2014, is well off that peak. That places it #29 of 40 neighborhoods in Albuquerque.
At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Paradise Hills and Casa Grande/South Glenwood Hills. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $87,603.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
