Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Samos

57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Pima County average of 43.8%. 80% 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 clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Against the Pima County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.2/10.

The filing record is not thin: 949 evictions over 12 years of observation. At $999 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Tucson commands. The worst year on record was 2005, when 9.6% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 5.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.9/10.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
