Addressing Homelessness in Mesa
Tracking Mesa Housing Trends
Cost-Burdened Households
Cost burden is defined as paying more than 30% of household income for housing (rent or mortgage, plus utilities) and may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation, and medical care.
As of December 2021 31.5% of Mesa households are considered "cost-burdened". However, this cost burden is greatest among renters (49.3%).

Evictions
Eviction filings remain below pre-covid numbers, in large part because of the City of Mesa's use of federal Emergency Rental and Utilities Assistance Program (ERAP).
