El Paso Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.4/10. The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, 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.

The filing record is not thin: 11 evictions over 1 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2012, when 1.4% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.

In a typical year about 1.4% 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 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters.

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