Las Americas maps to a single census tract in Laredo, TX, population 4,617. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. 100% 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.
Cost burden runs 100% against 32.2% citywide, putting Las Americas 67.8% over its own city. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Among the 29 mapped neighborhoods of Laredo, it ranks #19 by risk, the middle third. At 5% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
