Vactor Ranch Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,040 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3.3–3.3

Vactor Ranch is a one-tract neighborhood of Tucson, AZ and houses 4,040 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Tucson baseline of 32.8%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Court records for this tract carry 1,355 eviction filings. Average gross rent is $1,279, 12% above the Tucson average of $1,145.

Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 22.2% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.5% of adults, 8.3 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 7.8% in 2017, is well off that peak.

Among the 32 mapped neighborhoods of Tucson, it ranks #30 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Blenman-Elm and Barrio Kroeger Lane score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $74,253.

38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
