Rancho Hermoso is a 4-tract neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ and houses 13,026 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, Moderate tier. Food insecurity affects 47.1% of adults, 29.3 points above the national rate.
31.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,102, 30% below the Phoenix average of $1,582. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Cost burden runs 40% against 31.0% citywide, putting Rancho Hermoso 8.7% over its own city.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records carry 1,839 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 65.9% of renter households.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. That places it #1 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix.
Judgments average 16.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
