Acoma Court Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 12,271 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3–3.2

Acoma Court spans 2 census tracts of Surprise, AZ and houses 12,271 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Surprise baseline of 32.2%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. 15% 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.

On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2/10. Court records carry 177 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 248.5% of renter households. The voucher gap is 10.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

That places it #9 of 16 neighborhoods in Surprise. Judgments average 438.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Bell West Ranch and Sarah Ann Ranch score within a fraction of it. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.

Average gross rent runs $2,148, close to the Surprise average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $93,630.

With little internal variation, 3.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
