Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Knoell East
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.
Food insecurity runs 7.8% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 55 evictions over 5 years of observation.
9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Housing insecurity runs 6.5% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 0.7 points below the Maricopa County average of 3.7.
Filings peaked in 2004 at 10.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.4% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
