Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hunter Heights

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Court records carry 92 eviction filings across 9 observed years. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.2% against 11.3% nationally.

Against the Salt Lake County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. At $1,363 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of West Valley City commands. The worst year on record was 2015, when 8.3% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 5.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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