Woodleaf Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 11,758 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Woodleaf spans 3 census tracts of Scottsdale, AZ and houses 11,758 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. On the softer side is economic stress, 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.

Against a Scottsdale baseline of 29.2%, 34% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Filings are well documented here: 540 across 3 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 4.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 7.0% of adults, 10.8 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 19.2% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 7.4% in 2005, is well off that peak. That places it #13 of 31 neighborhoods in Scottsdale.

Only 19% 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. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 3 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

Average gross rent runs $1,906, close to the Scottsdale average.

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.
