Willowcreek East Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,231 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Willowcreek East maps to a single census tract in Sandy, UT and houses 4,231 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 60% 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.

60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Sandy rate of 28.8%. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

The voucher gap is 27.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. At $2,225 a month, rents sit 25% over what the rest of Sandy commands.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. SNAP participation is 3.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 24 evictions logged in this tract. Food insecurity affects 7.6% of adults, 10.2 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 3.9% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2016, is well off that peak.

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.
