Alexander Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 8,175 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Alexander is a one-tract quarter of Laredo, TX, population 8,175. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 51% against 32.2% citywide, putting Alexander 19.2% over its own city.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,120, 9% above the Laredo average of $1,030.

Among the 29 mapped neighborhoods of Laredo, it ranks #22 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Century City and Del Mar score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
