Ghost Town Eviction Risk: Moderate , Laredo

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 80% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Disability prevalence runs 43.5% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.4/10.

At $867 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Laredo commands. It sits 0.8 points above the Webb County average of 4.0.

Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
