· range 3–3
Sunset Ridge I spans 3 census tracts of Phoenix, AZ, population 12,006. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Phoenix rate of 31.0%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $2,029, 28% above the Phoenix average of $1,582.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Filings are well documented here: 1,142 across 3 observed tracts.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.9% of adults, 9.9 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 27.5% of renter households.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 8.2% in 2005, is well off that peak. That places it #84 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix.
For a like-for-like read, Vista del Cerro and Overland Trail score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
