Downtown Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate , El Paso

Average gross rent is $550, 49% below the El Paso average. Adults with no health insurance runs 46.2% against 11.3% nationally.

The poverty rate is 59%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This is renter territory: 99% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 49.3% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.0 points above the El Paso County average of 3.9. The filing record is not thin: 7 evictions over 1 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 3.5% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
