Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Buena Vista

Cost burden runs 60% here against 45.7% across El Paso County. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.2/10. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $33,170, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 29.6% against 11.3% nationally. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

It sits 1.0 points above the El Paso County average of 3.9. The filing record is not thin: 28 evictions over 1 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2012 at 1.8% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10.

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.
