Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: A: Best

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunnyside East

Set annual rent against average income of $30,208 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Cost burden runs 56% here against 42.4% across Salt Lake County. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.2/10.

The severe-burden share is 23%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Against the Salt Lake County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points.

At $1,075 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Salt Lake City commands. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.5/10.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Salt Lake City. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.3/10. Statewide the UT average is 3.7, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
