59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Maricopa County average of 46.0%. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Maricopa County average of 3.7.

In a typical year about 15.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 9.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
