Jonesdale is a one-tract neighborhood of West Valley City, UT, population 5,367. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 80% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the West Valley City rate of 29.7%.
The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
At $1,784 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of West Valley City commands. Court records for this tract carry 123 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 11.2% of renter households.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The most recent observed rate, 4.3% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #7 of 10 neighborhoods in West Valley City. At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, West Hills Number 2 and Merry Lane score within a fraction of it.
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.
