What drives eviction risk in Central City
The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.9/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.6 points above the Salt Lake County average of 3.8.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.5/10.
Against Salt Lake County at 42.4%, 36% of renters here are cost-burdened. Court records carry 238 eviction filings across 9 observed years.
SNAP participation runs 6.8% against 15.2% nationally. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 3/10. The worst year on record was 2008, when 4.4% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing.
