Deer Creek is a one-tract neighborhood of Peoria, AZ, population 6,936. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 70% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Peoria rate of 33.8%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $56,899 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 534 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 30.7% of renter households. 17.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Recent filings have not receded much: 34.5% in 2005 against a 30.7% peak.
Among the 19 mapped neighborhoods of Peoria, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Bristle Manor and Olive West.
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.
