Kyrene takes in 2 census tracts of Tempe, AZ and houses 8,029 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 31% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $2,110, 21% above the Tempe average of $1,743. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records carry 30 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
SNAP participation is 5.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 4.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 6.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 3.0% in 2005, is well off that peak. That places it #10 of 14 neighborhoods in Tempe.
For a like-for-like read, Renaissance and Raintree score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
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.
