Glendale spans 2 census tracts of Salt Lake City, UT and houses 10,961 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Salt Lake City baseline of 30.4%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. 23.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.2 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Filings are well documented here: 424 across 2 observed tracts. Food insecurity affects 29.4% of adults, 11.6 points above the national rate.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 8.1% of renter households.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,302, 8% below the Salt Lake City average of $1,414.
That places it #14 of 26 neighborhoods in Salt Lake City. Judgments average 1.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Hall Acres and Riverside score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
