Wild Flower is a 2-tract neighborhood of Phoenix, AZ, population 7,922. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, Moderate tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Phoenix rate of 31.0%.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 16% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 12.6% in 2005, is well off that peak. That places it #32 of 113 neighborhoods in Phoenix.
For a like-for-like read, Indian Springs and Santa Maria score within a fraction of it. Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,518, close to the Phoenix average.

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.
