Analysis

What drives eviction risk in La Cuesta

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.8/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.7/10. Court records carry 603 eviction filings across 15 observed years. It sits 0.8 points below the Bernalillo County average of 4.3.

SNAP participation runs 7.6% against 15.2% nationally. Running hot, local political climate reads 7/10.

Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2012, when 12.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 7.0% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
