Greenbriar is a 5-tract neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ, population 16,321. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Against a Phoenix baseline of 31.0%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.1 to 4.9, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Filings are well documented here: 2,305 across 4 observed tracts. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 40.7% of renter households.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10. That places it #57 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix.
Judgments average 12.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 22% 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. For a like-for-like read, Silva Mountain and Ridgegate score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $1,621, close to the Phoenix average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $80,636.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
