Cadence is a one-tract neighborhood of Mesa, AZ, population 6,069. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $2,477 a month, rents sit 53% over what the rest of Mesa commands.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 27.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Cost burden runs 40% against 32.3% citywide, putting Cadence 7.3% over its own city. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.7/10.
Court records for this tract carry 3 eviction filings. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 4.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 2.6% of renter households. Among the 33 mapped neighborhoods of Mesa, it ranks #20 by risk, the middle third.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
