McQueen Eviction Risk: Moderate , Mesa

26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. Set annual rent against average income of $50,741 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against Maricopa County at 46.0%, 56% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,362 filings here across 5 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 22.8% of renter households.

At $1,483 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Mesa commands. In a typical year about 19.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
