Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Barrio Viejo

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.8/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $33,734, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.8/10.

This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Cost burden runs 50% here against 43.8% across Pima County. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 787 filings here across 12 tracked years.
