The Spectrum at Val Vista maps to a single census tract in Gilbert, AZ, population 7,709. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Gilbert rate of 28.9%. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 12.3%: 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. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Gilbert, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Ray Ranch and Allen Ranch score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,190, close to the Gilbert average.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $117,221. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
