Buenavante Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,488 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Buenavante maps to a single census tract in Scottsdale, AZ and houses 2,488 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 45% 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.

Against a Scottsdale baseline of 29.2%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $3,310, 64% above the Scottsdale average of $2,013.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 69.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 16 evictions logged in this tract. 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.

Food insecurity affects 7.1% of adults, 10.7 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 1.0% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 0.9% in 2005 against a 1.0% peak. That places it #13 of 31 neighborhoods in Scottsdale.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
