Maryvale spans 5 census tracts of Phoenix, AZ, population 23,559. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 31.0% citywide, putting Maryvale 15.9% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 26.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 3.4 to 5. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Food insecurity affects 30.1% of adults, 12.3 points above the national rate.
Court records carry 985 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 45.1% of renter households. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10. That places it #34 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix.
Judgments average 9.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Moon Valley Canyon and Paradise City score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,559, close to the Phoenix average.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
