Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lee Acres
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 8.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

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 safer side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.73x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, a little under the pre-pandemic norm.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 143 eviction filings here over 15 tracked years, with about 2.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.3% of renter households in 2003.
