Stetson Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

4 census tracts · pop 20,805 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Stetson Hills takes in 4 census tracts of Phoenix, AZ, population 20,805. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 31.0% citywide, putting Stetson Hills 17.9% over its own city.

34% 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. Average gross rent is $2,207, 40% above the Phoenix average of $1,582.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.

Filings are well documented here: 120 across 3 observed tracts. The voucher gap is 13.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation is 5.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 8.8% of adults, 9.0 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 41.7% of renter households. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

The most recent observed rate, 13.6% in 2005, is well off that peak. That places it #84 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix.

At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
