Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Melrose District

Against Maricopa County at 46.0%, 62% of renters here are cost-burdened. 100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Food insecurity runs 40.5% against 17.8% nationally. Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income of $27,604, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. At $1,012 a month, rents run 36% under what the rest of Phoenix commands.

Running hot, economic stress reads 9/10. The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.
