Pepperwood Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,896 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Pepperwood maps to a single census tract in Sandy, UT, population 4,896. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Court records for this tract carry 38 eviction filings. 3.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 8.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #3 of 13 neighborhoods in Sandy.

Only 1% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are David Street and Alta Heights.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
