The strongest single driver of the headline number is housing-court posture at 7.1/10. 20.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The filing record is not thin: 193 evictions logged in this tract. Average gross rent is $1,097, 15% above the South Valley average of $954. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 6.0% of renter households.

Only 23% 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. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Against average income of $69,868, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 4.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
