Mines is a 2-tract suburb of Laredo, TX, population 13,245. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 32.2% citywide, putting Mines 19.5% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
At $1,263 a month, rents sit 23% over what the rest of Laredo commands. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.7/10. That places it #22 of 29 neighborhoods in Laredo.
Only 25% 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. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
