· range 4.8–4.8
Eastern Division takes in 3 census tracts of Laredo, TX and houses 12,072 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Laredo rate of 32.2%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. On the high side is economic stress at 8/10.
Average gross rent is $961, 7% below the Laredo average of $1,030. That places it #1 of 29 neighborhoods in Laredo. For a like-for-like read, Cielo Vista and Cheyenne score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $42,191.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
