Sunnyside Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,963 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5.1–5.1

Sunnyside is a one-tract neighborhood of Flagstaff, AZ, population 2,963. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 71% against 34.6% citywide, putting Sunnyside 36.4% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. This is a renter market: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Set annual rent against average household income of $54,911 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. At $1,468 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Flagstaff commands.

Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Flagstaff, it ranks #5 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Shadow Mountain and Presidio in the Pines. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
