Village South is a one-tract neighborhood of Laredo, TX and houses 11,187 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 45% 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 48% against 32.2% citywide, putting Village South 15.6% over its own city. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 26%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,094 a month, rents sit 6% over what the rest of Laredo commands. Among the 29 mapped neighborhoods of Laredo, it ranks #16 by risk, the middle third.
Only 14% 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. For a like-for-like read, Seven Lights and Loma Alta score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $57,998.
One tract means one number: 4.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
