About 4 out of every 100 households lost their homes in Maricopa County from 2017-19, one of the worst rankings of America s Sunbelt cities, according to national reports.
But some areas of the county fare much worse than others. In some census tracts in the western half of Maricopa County, more than one-fifth of the households have lost their homes. Other tracts with higher rates include parts of Tempe, Mesa and north Phoenix, where 1 in 10 households have lost their homes.
People of color and single-parent households also experience housing losses to a greater degree, according to the reports.
The data in Displaced and Displaced in the Sunbelt, by New America, the Washington, D.C.-based think tank, shows housing insecurity as a growing problem in the years just before the coronavirus pandemic.
