Rancho Santa Fe Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 7,479 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3–3.6

Rancho Santa Fe takes in 3 census tracts of Phoenix, AZ, population 7,479. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Phoenix baseline of 31.0%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. At $1,219 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Phoenix commands. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10.

The filing record is not thin: 153 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 78.9% of renter households. SNAP participation is 7.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The most recent observed rate, 27.9% in 2005, is well off that peak. Among the 113 mapped neighborhoods of Phoenix, it ranks #80 by risk, the lower third.

Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Paradise Valley Miranda and Triple Crown score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

With little internal variation, 3.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
