Royal Oaks Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 6,642 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 4.2–4.2

Royal Oaks maps to a single census tract in St. George, UT and houses 6,642 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

36% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. At $1,424 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of St. George commands.

That places it #2 of 10 neighborhoods in St. George. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $70,646.

53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
