Santa Maria Eviction Risk: Moderate

21% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well below the Phoenix rate of 31.0%. 24.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $1,375, 13% below the Phoenix average of $1,582.

Food insecurity affects 27.0% of adults, 9.2 points above the national rate. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

Among the 113 mapped neighborhoods of Phoenix, it ranks #32 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Indian Springs and Wild Flower. Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $74,872. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 4.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
