Fort Whipple Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 3,344 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 3–5.4

Fort Whipple takes in 2 census tracts of Prescott, AZ, population 3,344. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $1,989, 43% above the Prescott average of $1,395.

45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Prescott rate of 31.6%. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5.4. A 2.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Set annual rent against average household income of $71,142 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The voucher gap is 23.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Prescott, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Miller Valley and Palmer Hill score within a fraction of it. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
