About eviction risk in Virgin, UT

Virgin, UT has an eviction risk score of 3.1 out of 10, placing it in the low-risk tier for landlords operating in Washington County and the state of Utah. The score combines local political climate, court disposition patterns, cost-of-eviction estimates, tenant organizing strength, and the likelihood of new tenant-protective legislation in the next legislative cycle.

Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 30.9% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. Median gross rent in Virgin is $2,094/month. About 5.6% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 22.8%, unemployment 4.2%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.
