Superior Highlands Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,639 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Superior Highlands is a one-tract neighborhood of Superior, AZ, population 2,639. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Superior baseline of 31.5%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

36% 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 main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10.

19.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At $792 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Superior commands. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $42,050.

29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 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.
