Analysis

What drives eviction risk in El Paso

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

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. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.9% against 11.3% nationally.

Running hot, economic stress reads 7.6/10. 40% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the El Paso County average of 45.7%.

It sits 1.0 points above the El Paso County average of 3.9. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for El Paso. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
