Hunter Heights takes in 3 census tracts of West Valley City, UT, population 13,924. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 28% of renter households. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.5, a 1.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.7/10.
Court records carry 250 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 8.3% of renter households. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10. 17.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Recent filings have not receded much: 5.4% in 2016 against a 8.3% peak. That places it #7 of 10 neighborhoods in West Valley City.
Only 12% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Sunnyvale Park and Schroder.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
