Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Jacobs Ranch
Average gross rent is $1,731, 51% above the Apache Junction average. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 1.9/10.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.2/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.4/10.
The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 5.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Pinal County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $75,000.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
