Shadow Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,183 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Shadow Hills maps to a single census tract in Glendale, AZ and houses 2,183 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 83%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Annualized rent equals 54% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. 97% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Glendale rate of 34.4%.

Average gross rent is $3,154, 106% above the Glendale average of $1,528. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10.

The voucher gap is 61.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Court records for this tract carry 37 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 12.6% of renter households.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.5% in 2005 against a 12.6% peak.

Among the 20 mapped neighborhoods of Glendale, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 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.
