The Foothills Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,602 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 5–5

The Foothills maps to a single census tract in Fortuna Foothills, AZ and houses 1,602 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 67%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Against a Fortuna Foothills baseline of 32.2%, 75% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Annualized rent equals 46% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Disability prevalence reaches 47.3% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. SNAP participation is 24.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.

That places it #1 of 7 neighborhoods in Fortuna Foothills. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,094, close to the Fortuna Foothills average. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
