Colonia Los Obispos is a one-tract neighborhood of Laredo, TX and houses 3,071 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Laredo baseline of 32.2%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.2/10.
That places it #12 of 29 neighborhoods in Laredo. Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Downtown and Western Division score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,085, close to the Laredo average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $55,862.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 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.
