El Rancho Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,544 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3.1–3.1

El Rancho is a one-tract neighborhood of Laredo, TX and houses 4,544 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 32.2% citywide, putting El Rancho 24.8% over its own city.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

That places it #20 of 29 neighborhoods in Laredo. Only 16% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Lakeside and The Coves At Winfield.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Against average income of $82,625, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.

Average gross rent runs $973, close to the Laredo average.

One tract means one number: 3.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
