Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mesa
SNAP participation runs 39.5% against 15.2% nationally. 33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.3/10.
The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.
This is renter territory: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. At $1,282 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Mesa commands. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 530 filings here across 5 tracked years.
Against the Maricopa County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Filings peaked in 2003 at 13.5% of renter households.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
