Santiago is a one-tract neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ and houses 4,608 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 13% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well below the Phoenix rate of 31.0%.
At $2,154 a month, rents sit 36% over what the rest of Phoenix commands. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 251 evictions logged in this tract. 10% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 50.7% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
The voucher gap is 10.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The most recent observed rate, 18.8% in 2005, is well off that peak.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
