At $1,337 a month, rents sit 32% under what the rest of Buckeye commands. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2/10. Court records carry 417 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.7/10.
19.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 25.8% of renter households.
That places it #2 of 9 neighborhoods in Buckeye. Judgments average 7.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Montiere and Phoenix Skyline West 2. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
