Sweetwater Ranch Eviction Risk: Lower , Scottsdale

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.

Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 4.5% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,690 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Scottsdale commands.

The filing record is not thin: 329 evictions over 5 years of observation. It sits 0.7 points below the Maricopa County average of 3.7. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 6.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 4.1% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
