Hilltop Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 11,415 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 3.2–4.8

Hilltop is a 2-tract quarter of Kingman, AZ and houses 11,415 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 28.7% citywide, putting Hilltop 16.4% over its own city.

29% 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. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.2 to 4.8. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,098, close to the Kingman average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $59,147. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
