Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ridgegate

The filing record is not thin: 1,409 evictions over 5 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,391, 12% below the Phoenix average. Filings peaked in 2005 at 46.1% of renter households.

In a typical year about 36.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
