Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Clovis

What moves this score most is economic stress at 9.4/10. 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 Clovis eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Curry County average of 6.0 and above the New Mexico statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is Hispanic or Latino and White and ranks around the 62nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

In CDC survey modeling, about 20.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 15.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

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