Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Woodcove

What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at 3.5/10. 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 West Valley City eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Salt Lake County average of 4.4 and in line with the Utah statewide average of 4.0. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 178 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 2.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.2% of renter households in 2008.

In CDC survey modeling, about 21.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 12.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
