Cambridge Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate
2 census tracts · pop 4,384 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 3–5
Cambridge Heights is a 2-tract neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ, population 4,384. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 41% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Cost burden runs 67% against 31.0% citywide, putting Cambridge Heights 35.8% over its own city. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. At $1,911 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Phoenix commands. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Filings are well documented here: 472 across 2 observed tracts. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 15.6% of renter households.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 6.7% in 2005, is well off that peak. That places it #40 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Terralea and Bronze Boot. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $80,263. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
