Westpointe maps to a single census tract in Salt Lake City, UT and houses 5,116 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Salt Lake City rate of 30.4%.
31% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
22.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Court records for this tract carry 85 eviction filings.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 4.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.1% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Salt Lake City, it ranks #25 by risk, the lower third. At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,498, close to the Salt Lake City average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
