Alta Vista spans 3 census tracts of Sandy, UT, population 14,832. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. At $1,328 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of Sandy commands. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
Court records carry 319 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 4.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 7.2% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate. That places it #3 of 13 neighborhoods in Sandy.
Judgments average 1.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
