Dreamland Villa spans 2 census tracts of Mesa, AZ, population 10,073. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 32.3% citywide, putting Dreamland Villa 19.9% over its own city.
32% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. Court records carry 381 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 15.1% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,484, 8% below the Mesa average of $1,620.
The most recent observed rate, 6.1% in 2005, is well off that peak. Among the 33 mapped neighborhoods of Mesa, it ranks #15 by risk, the middle third.
At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $84,395.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
