Wescall Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,655 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Wescall is a one-tract neighborhood of West Jordan, UT and houses 3,655 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 100%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs 100% against 31.1% citywide, putting Wescall 68.9% over its own city. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 22 eviction filings. SNAP participation is 4.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 5.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.3% in 2015 against a 5.4% peak.

That places it #6 of 14 neighborhoods in West Jordan. Only 1% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

For a like-for-like read, Oquirrh and Sienna Hills score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
