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.

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.
