Grayhawk is a one-tract quarter of Scottsdale, AZ and houses 4,279 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2/10.
Cost burden runs 35% against 29.2% citywide, putting Grayhawk 6.1% over its own city. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The voucher gap is 16.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The filing record is not thin: 216 evictions logged in this tract.
3.1% 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. At $2,271 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Scottsdale commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 54.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.8% in 2005, is well off that peak.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
