Superstition Lookout is a one-tract neighborhood of Apache Junction, AZ and houses 2,732 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, Moderate tier. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10.

Cost burden runs 23% against 32.3% citywide, putting Superstition Lookout 9.4% under its own city. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. At $958 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Apache Junction commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. 11% 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.

The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Apache Junction, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Camberley Place and Casa Del Camino. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $49,875.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 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.
