Parkwood Eviction Risk: Moderate

4 census tracts · pop 24,056 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 4.7–5

Parkwood spans 4 census tracts of Phoenix, AZ, population 24,056. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Phoenix baseline of 31.0%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

34.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Filings are well documented here: 4,078 across 4 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 43.9% of renter households. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

The most recent observed rate, 21.4% in 2005, is well off that peak. Among the 113 mapped neighborhoods of Phoenix, it ranks #14 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, Melrose District and Garfield score within a fraction of it.

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.
