Oakridge Heights is a 3-tract neighborhood of Sandy, UT, population 12,652. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 34.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $2,358, 33% above the Sandy average of $1,777. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 29% of renter households. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
15% 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. SNAP participation is 3.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Court records carry 101 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 18.9% of renter households. That places it #3 of 13 neighborhoods in Sandy. Judgments average 1.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
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.
