Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Candlelight Park
What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at 5.5/10. 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 Albuquerque eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Bernalillo County average of 6.1 and in line with the New Mexico statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.58x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
In CDC survey modeling, about 10.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.1% 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.
