Enchanted Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,077 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Enchanted Hills maps to a single census tract in Cottonwood Heights, UT, population 6,077. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 41.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Average gross rent is $2,469, 43% above the Cottonwood Heights average of $1,730. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 9.1/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for about a quarter of renter households.

Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 2.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 38 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 4.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 2.3% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.7% of adults, 8.1 points below the national rate.

The most recent observed rate, 0.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #2 of 7 neighborhoods in Cottonwood Heights.

At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
