Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cactus

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. At $2,117 a month, rents run 34% over what the rest of Phoenix commands.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10.

SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 133 evictions over 5 years of observation.

It sits 0.7 points below the Maricopa County average of 3.7. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 22.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 16.4% of renter households face a filing.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
