West Hills Number 2 Eviction Risk: Lower , West Valley City

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.1/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

At $1,845 a month, rents run 23% over what the rest of West Valley City commands. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 0.8 points below the Salt Lake County average of 3.8.

SNAP participation runs 8.0% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 9% 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 4.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $123,553, annual rent is just 18%. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
