Sunburst Homes takes in 4 census tracts of Phoenix, AZ and houses 18,579 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 31.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Against a Phoenix baseline of 31.0%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 20% 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 27.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Filings are well documented here: 1,368 across 3 observed tracts. Average gross rent is $1,383, 13% below the Phoenix average of $1,582. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 38.6% of renter households.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Among the 113 mapped neighborhoods of Phoenix, it ranks #23 by risk, the upper third.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
