Serape Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 13,092 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Serape is a 3-tract neighborhood of Chandler, AZ, population 13,092. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 15% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly below the Chandler rate of 28.4%.

At $2,589 a month, rents sit 36% over what the rest of Chandler commands. The voucher gap is 32.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.

Filings are well documented here: 22 across 3 observed tracts. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.9% of adults, 9.9 points below the national rate.

Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 23.1% of renter households. Among the 34 mapped neighborhoods of Chandler, it ranks #10 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 3.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

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.
