Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Samos

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.3 points above the Pima County average of 3.9.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.2/10. Against Pima County at 43.8%, 49% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Court records carry 1,942 eviction filings across 12 observed years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 13.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 10.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
