Chesterfield is a 3-tract neighborhood of West Valley City, UT, population 9,746. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a West Valley City baseline of 29.7%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
25% 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. 23.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.4/10.
The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.6 to 5.8, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Food insecurity affects 31.5% of adults, 13.7 points above the national rate. Court records for this tract carry 227 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 8.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,406, 7% below the West Valley City average of $1,504.
That places it #2 of 10 neighborhoods in West Valley City.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
