Riverside maps to a single census tract in Laredo, TX, population 3,426. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 64%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
74% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Laredo rate of 32.2%. At $1,541 a month, rents sit 50% over what the rest of Laredo commands. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The voucher gap is 31.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.1/10.
Running hot is economic stress at 7.5/10. That places it #1 of 29 neighborhoods in Laredo.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Cielo Vista and Cheyenne. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
