Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westpointe

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.4/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.0% against 11.3% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 85 evictions over 9 years of observation.

47% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Salt Lake County average of 42.4%. The worst year on record was 2012, when 4.1% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Salt Lake City. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $113,250, annual rent is just 16%.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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