Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Agua Fria

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 8.9/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.2/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10.

It sits 1.2 points above the Maricopa County average of 3.7. The filing record is not thin: 97 evictions over 4 years of observation.

9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.0% against 11.3% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 5,741.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2,480.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.5/10. Statewide the AZ average is 3.8, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
