Sun City Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs around two-thirds here against 46.0% across Maricopa County. Annualized rent equals 50% of average household income of $52,337, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Average gross rent is $2,190, 40% above the Sun City average. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.2/10. Housing insecurity runs 3.3% against 14.2% nationally.

Court records carry 2 eviction filings across 2 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The voucher gap is 12.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2002, when 0.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 0.2% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
