Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 21.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Running hot is supply constraint at 7.2/10. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 17.4% of renter households. 5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
That places it #84 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix. Judgments average 3.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
