Shadow Mountain is a one-tract neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ and houses 6,051 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Phoenix baseline of 31.0%, 52% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 28% 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. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.6/10.
The filing record is not thin: 295 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 17.3% of renter households.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. At $1,727 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Phoenix commands. The most recent observed rate, 5.4% in 2005, is well off that peak.
That places it #68 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $92,398. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
