1 census tracts · pop 2,215 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10
· range 3–3
Montara maps to a single census tract in Glendale, AZ, population 2,215. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. The filing record is not thin: 53 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 65.4% of renter households.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 10.5% in 2005, is well off that peak.
That places it #17 of 20 neighborhoods in Glendale. At 3% 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 Chaparral and WillowBrook II. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
