Legend Ridge Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,808 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Legend Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Gilbert, AZ and houses 5,808 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 48.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 9.8/10. At $2,887 a month, rents sit 37% over what the rest of Gilbert commands.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.1/10.

Against a Gilbert baseline of 28.9%, 21% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

SNAP participation is 5.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.8% of adults, 9.0 points below the national rate.

That places it #3 of 16 neighborhoods in Gilbert. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Ray Ranch and Allen Ranch score within a fraction of it.

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.
