Amberwood Eviction Risk: Lower

4 census tracts · pop 13,774 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Amberwood spans 4 census tracts of Chandler, AZ and houses 13,774 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 26% of renter households. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.4/10.

The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.2/10.

Court records carry 1,031 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 47.4% of renter households. Among the 34 mapped neighborhoods of Chandler, it ranks #10 by risk, the upper third.

Judgments average 8.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Premiere at Desert Breeze and Avier East score within a fraction of it.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 4 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Average gross rent runs $1,788, close to the Chandler average.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
