Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Poplar Grove
Food insecurity runs 39.4% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $39,545 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. It sits 1.6 points above the Salt Lake County average of 3.8. Average gross rent is $1,131, 20% below the Salt Lake City average.
Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. SNAP participation runs 24.1% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 275 filings here across 9 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2008, when 11.5% 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 5.1% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
