DC Ranch is a one-tract quarter of Scottsdale, AZ and houses 3,687 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 14% against 29.2% citywide, putting DC Ranch 15.4% under its own city.
The voucher gap is 37.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
At $2,686 a month, rents sit 33% over what the rest of Scottsdale commands. Running hot is supply constraint at 8.8/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
Food insecurity affects 5.9% of adults, 11.9 points below the national rate. 4.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 31 mapped neighborhoods of Scottsdale, it ranks #13 by risk, the middle third.
At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Buenavante and Taliesin West. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
