Phoenix Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $66,151, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Against the Maricopa County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.2/10.

Food insecurity runs 28.9% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Maricopa County average of 46.0%. Court records carry 120 eviction filings across 5 observed years.

Housing insecurity runs 21.9% against 14.2% nationally. At $1,791 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Phoenix commands. Filings peaked in 2005 at 6.5% of renter households.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
