Westridge Park is a 3-tract neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ, population 12,645. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Against a Phoenix baseline of 31.0%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
31.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 57 eviction filings.
Average gross rent is $1,351, 15% below the Phoenix average of $1,582. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 18.6% of renter households.
That places it #19 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix. Judgments average 9.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Young America Homes and Lake Biltmore Village. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
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.
