Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Los Candelarias

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 7.6/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. 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 above 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 1.14x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, roughly back to the pre-pandemic baseline.

In CDC survey modeling, about 18.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 12.6% 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.
