Cartwright Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 13,870 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.2–5

Cartwright takes in 2 census tracts of Phoenix, AZ, population 13,870. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Phoenix rate of 31.0%.

32.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Filings are well documented here: 2,480 across 2 observed tracts.

The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 95.5% of renter households.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. At $1,421 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Phoenix commands. The most recent observed rate, 35.6% in 2005, is well off that peak.

That places it #25 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
