Pine Canyon Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,291 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 5.9–5.9

Pine Canyon is a one-tract neighborhood of Flagstaff, AZ and houses 3,291 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Flagstaff baseline of 34.6%, 65% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

The poverty rate is 28%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. At $1,456 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Flagstaff commands.

That places it #1 of 17 neighborhoods in Flagstaff. For a like-for-like read, Rio Homes and Pine Knoll score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $56,350.

One tract means one number: 5.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
