Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sugar House
Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.9/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. SNAP participation runs 4.1% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,634 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Salt Lake City commands.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 28 filings here across 9 tracked years. Cost burden runs 47% here against 42.4% across Salt Lake County. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 3/10.
The worst year on record was 2011, when 1.9% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 0.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #44,239 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
