Coldwater Springs spans 4 census tracts of Avondale, AZ and houses 24,118 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, Lower tier. Against a Avondale baseline of 32.7%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5.5. A 2.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,992 across 4 observed tracts. 20.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 242.5% of renter households.
That places it #8 of 8 neighborhoods in Avondale. Judgments average 173.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Sage Creek and Corte Sierra I score within a fraction of it.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
