County Fair West takes in 4 census tracts of Phoenix, AZ, population 14,408. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Phoenix rate of 31.0%.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 24% 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.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Court records carry 1,480 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. 14.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 47.6% of renter households. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,402, 11% below the Phoenix average of $1,582.
The most recent observed rate, 21.6% in 2005, is well off that peak.
With little internal variation, 5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
