About eviction risk in Milan, NM

Milan, NM has an eviction risk score of 6.0 out of 10, placing it in the elevated-risk tier for landlords operating in Cibola County and the state of New Mexico. The score combines local political climate, court disposition patterns, cost-of-eviction estimates, tenant organizing strength, and the likelihood of new tenant-protective legislation in the next legislative cycle.

Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 45.5% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. Median gross rent in Milan is $851/month. About 31.6% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 26.3%, unemployment 4.5%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.
