Amberwood Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,650 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.6/10 · range 3.6–3.6

Amberwood maps to a single census tract in Flagstaff, AZ, population 2,650. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. 67% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Flagstaff rate of 34.6%.

36% 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. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.5/10.

Set annual rent against average household income of $61,276 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. SNAP participation is 5.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Flagstaff, it ranks #12 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Elk Run and University Heights/Highlands score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,725, close to the Flagstaff average.

62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
