Rancho del Sol Eviction Risk: Moderate

4 census tracts · pop 14,830 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 3.8–6

Rancho del Sol spans 4 census tracts of Santa Fe, NM and houses 14,830 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Santa Fe rate of 31.3%.

35% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.8 to 6, a 2.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. 18.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #4 of 9 neighborhoods in Santa Fe.

Average gross rent runs $1,472, close to the Santa Fe average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $64,110. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.2 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.
