West Valley City Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.5% against 11.3% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.1/10.

Average gross rent is $1,240, 18% below the West Valley City average. The filing record is not thin: 320 evictions over 9 years of observation.

Housing insecurity runs 22.4% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 0.8 points above the Salt Lake County average of 3.8.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 7.7% 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 5.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #39,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
