At $1,886 a month, rents sit 33% over what the rest of Salt Lake City commands. The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.5/10.
SNAP participation is 3.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filings are well documented here: 71 across 3 observed tracts.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 2.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #24 of 26 neighborhoods in Salt Lake City. At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are East Bench and Central City / Liberty-Wells.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
