Analysis

What drives eviction risk in El Paso

Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side, economic stress reads 8.7/10. Set annual rent against average income of $34,727 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Disability prevalence runs 47.9% against 31.5% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against the El Paso County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 11 eviction filings across 1 observed years.

Cost burden runs 50% here against 45.7% across El Paso County. Average gross rent is $963, 10% below the El Paso average. Filings peaked in 2012 at 1.9% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 1.9% of renter households face a filing.

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