Cottonwood Slopes Eviction Risk: Lower , Sandy

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10.

35% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Salt Lake County average of 42.4%. SNAP participation runs 4.2% against 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 40 eviction filings across 8 observed years.

9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally. The voucher gap is 14.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Against the Salt Lake County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. At $2,000 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Sandy commands. The worst year on record was 2013, when 7.7% of renter households were served.

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.
