Lakeside is a 2-tract quarter of Laredo, TX and houses 4,616 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Against a Laredo baseline of 32.2%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.1/10.
12% 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. Average gross rent is $956, 7% below the Laredo average of $1,030. Among the 29 mapped neighborhoods of Laredo, it ranks #22 by risk, the lower third.
Only 10% 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 Century City and Alexander. Rent takes 8% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
