Hilltop maps to a single census tract in Sandy, UT and houses 4,943 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The voucher gap is 27.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 27% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $2,228, 25% above the Sandy average of $1,777.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.9/10. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Court records for this tract carry 43 eviction filings. SNAP participation is 4.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 6.6% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.1% of adults, 8.7 points below the national rate.
Recent filings have not receded much: 4.2% in 2016 against a 6.6% peak. That places it #3 of 13 neighborhoods in Sandy.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
