Pacheco spans 6 census tracts of Santa Fe, NM, population 15,497. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Santa Fe baseline of 31.3%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.9 to 6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. At $1,272 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Santa Fe commands.
Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Santa Fe, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, El Trebol Patio and Rancho del Sol score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $61,656. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
