Westward Look Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,293 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Westward Look Heights maps to a single census tract in Catalina Foothills, AZ and houses 4,293 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 39% 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.

63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Catalina Foothills rate of 26.9%. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 3.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Court records for this tract carry 49 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 2.6% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 0.3% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #2 of 9 neighborhoods in Catalina Foothills. Only 16% 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, Las Ventanas and Sabino Vista Village score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
