Spur Cross takes in 2 census tracts of Queen Creek, AZ, population 7,845. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 11% against 29.5% citywide, putting Spur Cross 19.0% under its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,660, 25% below the Queen Creek average of $2,210.
The voucher gap is 22.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10.
The severe-burden share is 11%. 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 tenant-organizing strength, at 2.7/10.
SNAP participation is 5.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate. That places it #1 of 6 neighborhoods in Queen Creek.
Only 4% 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. For a like-for-like read, Remington Heights and Villagio score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
