Morningside Cove Eviction Risk: Lower

6 census tracts · pop 34,407 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3–5

Morningside Cove spans 6 census tracts of Taylorsville, UT, population 34,407. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10.

The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5, a 2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10. 32% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Filings are well documented here: 964 across 5 observed tracts.

Average gross rent is $1,675, 13% above the Taylorsville average of $1,482. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 8.9% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2016, is well off that peak. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $89,681.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
