Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Meridian Hills
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.
Against Maricopa County at 46.0%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 68 evictions over 5 years of observation. SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally.
Average gross rent is $1,826, 13% above the Mesa average. Against the Maricopa County average of 3.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.
Filings peaked in 2004 at 47.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 36.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 9% 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. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 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.
