Trovia Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 6,990 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Trovia takes in 3 census tracts of Phoenix, AZ and houses 6,990 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. At $2,748 a month, rents sit 74% over what the rest of Phoenix commands.

The voucher gap is 40.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10. On the high side is supply constraint at 8.2/10.

Against a Phoenix baseline of 31.0%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Filings are well documented here: 55 across 3 observed tracts.

Food insecurity affects 6.6% of adults, 11.2 points below the national rate. 3.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 27.8% of renter households.

Among the 113 mapped neighborhoods of Phoenix, it ranks #84 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 5.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 7% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Rancho San Carlos and Overland Trail.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
