Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Smithfield
What moves this score most is supply constraint at 5.6/10. 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 Cache County average of 3.6 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 16 eviction filings here over 8 tracked years, with about 1.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.5% of renter households in 2012.
In CDC survey modeling, about 9.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 6.9% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
