Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Clovis

The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. 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 below the Curry County average of 6.0 and in line with the New Mexico statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 92nd 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.

In CDC survey modeling, about 24.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 16.1% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
