Silver Spur Ranch takes in 2 census tracts of Mesa, AZ, population 7,738. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 40% 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.
Against a Mesa baseline of 32.3%, 73% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
Court records carry 271 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 24.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 11.7% in 2005, is well off that peak.
Among the 33 mapped neighborhoods of Mesa, it ranks #20 by risk, the middle third. Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Rancho de Arboleda and Eastmark. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,607, close to the Mesa average.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
