White Sands maps to a single census tract in Sandy, UT and houses 5,413 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 28.8% citywide, putting White Sands 17.7% over its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 67 evictions logged in this tract.
SNAP participation is 6.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 4.7% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,599, 10% below the Sandy average of $1,777. The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Sandy, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. Only 11% 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.
For a like-for-like read, David Street and Alta Heights score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $100,332, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
