Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Arenal

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.8/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 28.0% against 11.3% nationally. Set annual rent against average income of $54,333 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,451 a month, rents run 27% over what the rest of Albuquerque commands. SNAP participation runs 25.7% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7/10.

The filing record is not thin: 174 evictions over 15 years of observation. Against the Bernalillo County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. Filings peaked in 2009 at 8.6% of renter households.

In a typical year about 7.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
