· range 4.8–4.8
Moonlight maps to a single census tract in Laredo, TX and houses 3,156 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 45%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Laredo rate of 32.2%. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $793, 23% below the Laredo average of $1,030. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
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. Among the 29 mapped neighborhoods of Laredo, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Cielo Vista and Cheyenne score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $38,942.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
