Phoenix Eviction Risk: Moderate

Food insecurity runs 38.9% against 17.8% nationally. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $46,881, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Maricopa County average of 3.7. Average gross rent is $1,287, 19% below the Phoenix average. Court records carry 1,098 eviction filings across 5 observed years.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2005 at 33.9% of renter households.

In a typical year about 24.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.1/10.

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.
