Jordan Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 10,087 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Jordan Heights spans 2 census tracts of Riverton, UT, population 10,087. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The voucher gap is 47.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Against a Riverton baseline of 23.6%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8/10. At $2,576 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Riverton commands.

Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 30 evictions logged in this tract.

SNAP participation is 4.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 11.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Greenfield and Park Avenue score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
