Sunnyvale Park Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,349 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.7–3.7

Sunnyvale Park is a one-tract neighborhood of West Valley City, UT and houses 6,349 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Against a West Valley City baseline of 29.7%, 65% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 34%. 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 rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

At $1,865 a month, rents sit 24% over what the rest of West Valley City commands. Court records for this tract carry 235 eviction filings.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 9.2% of renter households.

Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10. 18.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

The most recent observed rate, 3.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of West Valley City, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. At 20% 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 Schroder and Hunter Heights. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $91,107.

One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
