Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Liberty Park

Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.9/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The worst year on record was 2008, when 2.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Salt Lake City. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.6/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,430, close to the Salt Lake City average.
