Taliesin West Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,255 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Taliesin West maps to a single census tract in Scottsdale, AZ and houses 6,255 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 43%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

At $3,501 a month, rents sit 74% over what the rest of Scottsdale commands. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10.

The voucher gap is 79.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Against a Scottsdale baseline of 29.2%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Food insecurity affects 4.8% of adults, 13.0 points below the national rate.

2.4% 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. Court records for this tract carry 23 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 4.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2005, is well off that peak.

Among the 31 mapped neighborhoods of Scottsdale, it ranks #13 by risk, the middle third. Only 7% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

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.
