Liberty Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

5 census tracts · pop 24,104 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 3.7–4.5

Liberty Village spans 5 census tracts of Phoenix, AZ, population 24,104. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Phoenix baseline of 31.0%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Filings are well documented here: 1,649 across 5 observed tracts.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10. 19.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 645.7% of renter households. That places it #50 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix. Judgments average 25.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Amberwood North and Verde Real score within a fraction of it. Its 5 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,665, close to the Phoenix average.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $85,586.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
