Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Poplar Grove
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Salt Lake City eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Salt Lake County average of 4.4 and above the Utah statewide average of 4.0. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Part of this tract, about 21% of its area, sat in the redlined grade-D zone on 1930s HOLC maps, though its dominant grade was C ("Declining"). That lending history still correlates with present-day rent burden.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 359 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 4.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 6.2% of renter households in 2015.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
