Verde Real is a 3-tract neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ and houses 11,609 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 31.0% citywide, putting Verde Real 15.1% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5. A 2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Filings are well documented here: 1,620 across 3 observed tracts. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 34.7% of renter households.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10. That places it #54 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix. Judgments average 9.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Centura West and Cimarron score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,589, close to the Phoenix average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $80,182.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
