Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Barelas

Severe burden reaches 37%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8.8/10.

Food insecurity runs 35.4% against 17.8% nationally. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $33,370, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

SNAP participation runs 31.8% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10. On the high side, economic stress reads 7.7/10.

It sits 1.1 points above the Bernalillo County average of 4.3. Court records carry 692 eviction filings across 15 observed years.
