Meadowridge Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 10,690 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.1–3.7

Meadowridge is a 2-tract neighborhood of West Jordan, UT, population 10,690. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Cost burden runs 38% against 31.1% citywide, putting Meadowridge 6.8% over its own city. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.

12% 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. Filings are well documented here: 235 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 4.6% of renter households.

At $1,558 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of West Jordan commands. The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 14 mapped neighborhoods of West Jordan, it ranks #4 by risk, the upper third.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $83,595.

30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 3.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
