Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Chelwood Park
The score leans hardest on 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 about the same as the Bernalillo County average of 6.1 and above the New Mexico statewide average of 5.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.36x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, above pre-pandemic levels.
In CDC survey modeling, about 12.4% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
