Sweetwater Ranch Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.4/10.

On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. 18% 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. Court records carry 1,872 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 5.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 30.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 11.1% in 2005, is well off that peak. Among the 31 mapped neighborhoods of Scottsdale, it ranks #13 by risk, the middle third.

For a like-for-like read, Buenavante and DC Ranch score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 4 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
