About eviction risk in San Carlos, AZ

San Carlos, AZ has an eviction risk score of 4.3 out of 10, placing it in the moderate-risk tier for landlords operating in Gila County and the state of Arizona. The score combines local political climate, court disposition patterns, cost-of-eviction estimates, tenant organizing strength, and the likelihood of new tenant-protective legislation in the next legislative cycle.

Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 9.0% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. Median gross rent in San Carlos is $540/month. About 43.2% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 44.2%, unemployment 18.6%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.

Political climate: In 2020, Gila County voted Republican by 34.1 points — classified as strongly landlord-leaning for purposes of rent-control or just-cause expansion risk.

What this score means for landlords

At 4.3/10, San Carlos is a lower-risk environment. Standard screening, documented notices, and prompt action on non-payment typically resolve quickly. Still follow your state's specific notice and service requirements.
