Sanalina is a 2-tract neighborhood of Surprise, AZ, population 11,617. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Against a Surprise baseline of 32.2%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2/10. Court records carry 124 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 34.4% of renter households. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Surprise, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 52.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Only 23% 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. For a like-for-like read, Sarah Ann Ranch and Ashton Ranch score within a fraction of it. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
