North Gateway Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 7,453 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

North Gateway is a one-tract suburb of Phoenix, AZ and houses 7,453 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 12 evictions logged in this tract. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 34% of renter households.

SNAP participation is 6.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 7.0% of renter households. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

Food insecurity affects 9.5% of adults, 8.3 points below the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,721, 9% above the Phoenix average of $1,582. That places it #84 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix.

Judgments average 3.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Against average income of $131,135, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
