Higley Park takes in 4 census tracts of Gilbert, AZ and houses 17,163 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. around a third of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Gilbert rate of 28.9%. Filings are well documented here: 91 across 2 observed tracts.
The voucher gap is 14.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation is 6.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 46.5% of renter households.
That places it #3 of 16 neighborhoods in Gilbert. Judgments average 9.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Allen Ranch and Arboreta score within a fraction of it.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
