Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Enchanted Hills

The voucher gap is 41.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $2,469 a month, rents run 43% over what the rest of Cottonwood Heights commands.

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10. SNAP participation runs 4.5% against 15.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 38 evictions over 9 years of observation. Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally.

It sits 0.8 points below the Salt Lake County average of 3.8. Filings peaked in 2009 at 2.3% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 17% 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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
