What drives eviction risk in Sugar House
Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.9/10. 52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Salt Lake County average of 42.4%.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.2/10. SNAP participation runs 4.0% against 15.2% nationally.
Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 72 eviction filings across 9 observed years.
Average gross rent is $1,592, 13% above the Salt Lake City average. Filings peaked in 2011 at 2.2% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
