Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cambridge Heights

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Maricopa County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.2/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 445 filings here across 5 tracked years. At $1,801 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Phoenix commands. Filings peaked in 2002 at 15.6% of renter households.
