Santa Clara Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Santa Clara, UT, population 5,756. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 45% 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.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 27.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Santa Clara rate of 40.5%.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. SNAP participation is 3.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.1% of adults, 9.7 points below the national rate.
At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,888, close to the Santa Clara average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $95,669.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
