Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Woodcove

What moves this score most is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as 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.

In CDC survey modeling, about 23.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 14.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

The tract is Hispanic or Latino and White and ranks around the 97th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
