Island Park maps to a single census tract in West Jordan, UT, population 6,471. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 76% against 31.1% citywide, putting Island Park 45.1% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. SNAP participation is 4.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Average gross rent is $1,645, 6% below the West Jordan average of $1,757. Among the 14 mapped neighborhoods of West Jordan, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third.
Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
