Ultimately, the district court erred by choosing the
wrong comparator population when it held that the
Appellants failed to establish a prima facie case of disparate
impact.         However, the District established a
nondiscriminatory legitimate business interest in applying
the Security Deposit Policy only to Pinal County tenants and
for raising the deposit to $180, and that these interests were
served in a significant way by that policy. Appellants have
not identified any genuine issue of material fact that would
disturb that conclusion and have failed to carry their burden
in establishing any less discriminatory, equally effective
alternative to the District’s policy.
