Santana Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 6,968 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Santana spans 2 census tracts of Gilbert, AZ and houses 6,968 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 28.9% citywide, putting Santana 26.5% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10. The voucher gap is 21.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

At $1,672 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Gilbert commands. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 5.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 8%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. That places it #3 of 16 neighborhoods in Gilbert.

At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Ray Ranch and Allen Ranch.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
