Shadow Canyon is a 2-tract neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ, population 8,039. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 31.0% citywide, putting Shadow Canyon 28.0% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 25% 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.
The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filings are well documented here: 659 across 2 observed tracts. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 19.1% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
Among the 113 mapped neighborhoods of Phoenix, it ranks #25 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 6.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.8 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 4.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
