Del Mar is a 5-tract suburb of Laredo, TX and houses 18,837 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.2/10. The severe-burden share is 14%.

Average gross rent is $1,125, 9% above the Laredo average of $1,030. That places it #22 of 29 neighborhoods in Laredo.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
