Central City Eviction Risk: Moderate , Salt Lake City

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. 80% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Average gross rent is $957, 32% below the Salt Lake City average.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $33,723, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, state political climate reads 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 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Cost burden runs roughly one in two here against 42.4% across Salt Lake County. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

Court records carry 252 eviction filings across 9 observed years. Filings peaked in 2010 at 3.1% of renter households. 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 2.3% of renter households face a filing.
