Hightown is a one-tract neighborhood of Chandler, AZ and houses 3,711 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Against a Chandler baseline of 28.4%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 68 evictions logged in this tract.
9% 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 worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 8.0% of renter households.
Among the 34 mapped neighborhoods of Chandler, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 4.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Carrizal and Solera. Average gross rent runs $1,850, close to the Chandler average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
