Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Westgate
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 5.1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Salt Lake County average of 4.4 and below the Utah statewide average of 4.0. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 45 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 1.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.7% of renter households in 2013.
The tract is White and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 24th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
