The Avenues is a 4-tract neighborhood of Salt Lake City, UT, population 12,417. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Salt Lake City rate of 30.4%.
Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.6 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.3/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. Court records carry 314 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.
SNAP participation is 4.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 2.2% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10.
Food insecurity affects 9.6% of adults, 8.2 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. At $1,305 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Salt Lake City commands.
That places it #18 of 26 neighborhoods in Salt Lake City. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $75,005.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
