Valle Sereno takes in 2 census tracts of Yuma, AZ, population 9,441. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Yuma baseline of 30.9%, 59% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $1,529 a month, rents sit 37% over what the rest of Yuma commands. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 20.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
The voucher gap is 11.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Among the 22 mapped neighborhoods of Yuma, it ranks #11 by risk, the middle third.
Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Old World Village and Edenwood West. Against average income of $98,237, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
