Culdesac Tempe Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against Maricopa County at 46.0%, 64% of renters here are cost-burdened. Annualized rent equals 45% of average household income of $40,577, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is renter territory: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 8.9/10. It sits 1.9 points above the Maricopa County average of 3.7. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.2/10. Court records carry 1,870 eviction filings across 5 observed years.

At $1,521 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Tempe commands. The worst year on record was 2001, when 35.8% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 31.8% of renter households face a filing.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
