Rio Mountain Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,449 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Rio Mountain maps to a single census tract in Scottsdale, AZ and houses 3,449 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 40.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

At $2,744 a month, rents sit 36% over what the rest of Scottsdale commands. The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.1/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Food insecurity affects 9.8% of adults, 8.0 points below the national rate.

That places it #13 of 31 neighborhoods in Scottsdale. At 4% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Mirador and DC Ranch score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $117,813.

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.
