New Horizons is a 5-tract neighborhood of Chandler, AZ and houses 21,806 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 28.4% citywide, putting New Horizons 16.4% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.2/10. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.2/10. Filings are well documented here: 2,491 across 5 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 60.2% of renter households. At $1,691 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Chandler commands.
The most recent observed rate, 13.7% in 2005, is well off that peak. That places it #4 of 34 neighborhoods in Chandler. Its 5 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $89,453. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
