Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sierra

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. 53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Maricopa County average of 46.0%.

SNAP participation runs 5.7% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Maricopa County average of 3.7 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
