Cottonwood Ranch is a one-tract neighborhood of Peoria, AZ and houses 6,310 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,447, 21% below the Peoria average of $1,843.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 134 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 17.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 8.1% in 2005, is well off that peak.
That places it #8 of 19 neighborhoods in Peoria. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
