Shadow Mountain Eviction Risk: Lower , West Jordan

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 42.4% across Salt Lake County. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10. SNAP participation runs 5.1% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 0.8 points below the Salt Lake County average of 3.8. At $1,943 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of West Jordan commands. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 5% 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 1.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $127,706.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
