East Central Eviction Risk: Moderate , Salt Lake City

This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $49,774, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.9/10. Against the Salt Lake County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 171 evictions over 9 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2008, when 2.5% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

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