Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cedar South

What pushes it up most is local political climate at 8.5/10. Against the Santa Fe County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running hot, regional political climate reads 7.7/10. Housing insecurity runs 26.6% against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7/10. Average gross rent is $1,639, 12% above the Santa Fe average. That is riskier than roughly 78% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NM average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
