Lehi maps to a single census tract in Mesa, AZ and houses 4,363 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Mesa rate of 32.3%. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. At $1,305 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of Mesa commands.
14% 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 poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Court records for this tract carry 845 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
18.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 36.7% of renter households. Among the 33 mapped neighborhoods of Mesa, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Judgments average 23.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 4.6/10 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.
