Citrus Grove takes in 2 census tracts of Phoenix, AZ and houses 8,278 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,020, 36% below the Phoenix average of $1,582.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. roughly one in four of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Phoenix rate of 31.0%.
Filings are well documented here: 294 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 11.8% of renter households. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The most recent observed rate, 6.1% in 2005, is well off that peak. Among the 113 mapped neighborhoods of Phoenix, it ranks #71 by risk, the middle third. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
With little internal variation, 3.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
