Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sun City

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Maricopa County average of 46.0%. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $41,200, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.2/10.

Disability prevalence runs 44.7% against 31.5% nationally. At $1,218 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Sun City commands.

The filing record is not thin: 17 evictions over 5 years of observation. Housing insecurity runs 6.2% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 0.8 points above the Maricopa County average of 3.7.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 1.5% of renter households were served.

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.
