Pinecrest is a 2-tract neighborhood of Laredo, TX, population 5,302. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Laredo baseline of 32.2%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 19% 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.
Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.8 to 4.8. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.1/10. Average gross rent is $917, 11% below the Laredo average of $1,030. Among the 29 mapped neighborhoods of Laredo, it ranks #17 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Village South and Seven Lights. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $37,532. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
