Riverton Eviction Risk: Lower

The voucher gap is 36.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.7/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. SNAP participation runs 4.4% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 37 evictions over 9 years of observation.

It sits 0.8 points below the Salt Lake County average of 3.8. Food insecurity runs 10.2% against 17.8% nationally.

At $2,392 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Riverton commands. Filings peaked in 2010 at 8.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 7.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 4% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $171,267, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
