Amberwood North spans 3 census tracts of Phoenix, AZ, population 9,869. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Phoenix rate of 31.0%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.5. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. Filings are well documented here: 952 across 3 observed tracts.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 34.0% of renter households.
That places it #50 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix. Judgments average 10.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Liberty Village and Verde Real.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
