Sunnyside East is a one-tract neighborhood of Salt Lake City, UT, population 3,827. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Salt Lake City rate of 30.4%.
100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Set annual rent against average household income of $30,208 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.2/10.
Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,075, 24% below the Salt Lake City average of $1,414. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Salt Lake City, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are East Central and 9th & 9th.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
