Silva Mountain is a 3-tract neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ and houses 14,357 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Phoenix baseline of 31.0%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
33% 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 clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5. A 2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Average gross rent is $1,875, 19% above the Phoenix average of $1,582.
Court records carry 522 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 127.6% of renter households.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10. That places it #57 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix. Judgments average 23.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
