Durango Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 967 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 4.9–4.9

Durango maps to a single census tract in El Paso, TX and houses 967 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 31.8% citywide, putting Durango 23.6% over its own city.

Annualized rent equals 52% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The severe-burden share is 37%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

At $558 a month, rents sit 48% under what the rest of El Paso commands. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 50%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

This is a renter market: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10. The filing record is not thin: 4 evictions logged in this tract.

Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 0.9% of renter households. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of El Paso, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 0.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Social vulnerability runs high at 10/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
