Oquirrh Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 8,743 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Oquirrh takes in 2 census tracts of West Jordan, UT and houses 8,743 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.1/10. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The voucher gap is 18.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

At $2,072 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of West Jordan commands. 33% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.4/10.

SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #6 of 14 neighborhoods in West Jordan.

At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Sienna Hills and Shadow Mountain.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $120,887.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
