Laveen is a 2-tract suburb of Phoenix, AZ and houses 11,034 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Filings are well documented here: 83 across 2 observed tracts.
Cost burden runs 36% against 31.0% citywide, putting Laveen 4.5% over its own city. The voucher gap is 11.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 31.8% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,424, 10% below the Phoenix average of $1,582.
Among the 113 mapped neighborhoods of Phoenix, it ranks #84 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 8.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 20% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Rancho San Carlos and Overland Trail. Against average income of $115,889, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
With little internal variation, 3/10 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.
