Alta Mira maps to a single census tract in Chandler, AZ, population 3,585. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Chandler baseline of 28.4%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
14% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 321 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 6.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 15.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 8.7% in 2005, is well off that peak. That places it #10 of 34 neighborhoods in Chandler.
Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,792, close to the Chandler average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
