Homestead Eviction Risk: Lower

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10. around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. At $1,926 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Mesa commands.

The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records carry 167 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. SNAP participation is 6.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 50.8% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.2% of adults, 8.6 points below the national rate.

The most recent observed rate, 12.3% in 2005, is well off that peak. Among the 33 mapped neighborhoods of Mesa, it ranks #20 by risk, the middle third. At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Eastmark and Rancho de Arboleda score within a fraction of it.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
