Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Woodridge Lakes

At $2,090 a month, rents run 29% over what the rest of Mesa commands. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10.
Court records carry 165 eviction filings across 5 observed years. SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally.
It sits 0.7 points below the Maricopa County average of 3.7. Filings peaked in 2003 at 44.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 21.3% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
