Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Midvale

The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. 79% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $52,267, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. It sits 1.9 points above the Salt Lake County average of 3.8.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 674 filings here across 9 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2009, when 9.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 6.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7/10. Statewide the UT average is 3.7, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter.
