Riverside is a one-tract neighborhood of Salt Lake City, UT, population 6,668. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 60% against 30.4% citywide, putting Riverside 30.0% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.3/10. The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records for this tract carry 704 eviction filings.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 11.8% of renter households. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10.
Recent filings have not receded much: 10.2% in 2016 against a 11.8% peak. That places it #14 of 26 neighborhoods in Salt Lake City. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,390, close to the Salt Lake City average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $71,277.
39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
