The Legend is a one-tract neighborhood of Chandler, AZ, population 6,001. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 28.4% citywide, putting The Legend 18.9% over its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 367 eviction filings.
SNAP participation is 4.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.8% of adults, 10.0 points below the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 38.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 11.8% in 2005, is well off that peak.
That places it #10 of 34 neighborhoods in Chandler. Against average income of $129,634, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
