Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Palm Springs

Against Pinal County at 37.6%, about half of renters here are cost-burdened. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,042, 9% below the Apache Junction average.

That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.4/10.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $70,263, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Pinal County average of 3.8 closely. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
