Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Candlelight Park

58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Bernalillo County average of 43.9%. 29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.8/10. The voucher gap is 22.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.2/10.

Court records carry 169 eviction filings across 14 observed years. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7/10.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 25.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 11.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Bernalillo County average of 4.3 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
