Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.4/10.
At $1,042 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Apache Junction commands. That places it #8 of 11 neighborhoods in Apache Junction. For a like-for-like read, Sunrise Canyon and Cimmarron score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
