Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mesa Junction

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 7.2/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

It sits 0.9 points above the Pueblo County average of 4.4. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 49% of renters.

Average gross rent is $1,051, close to the Pueblo average. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $39,757.

52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
