Ridgeline is a one-tract neighborhood of Washington Terrace, UT and houses 5,506 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2/10. At $1,046 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of Washington Terrace commands.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. 13% 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 filing record is not thin: 276 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 5.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Cost burden runs 19% against 22.7% citywide, putting Ridgeline 4.0% under its own city.
The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 8.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.9% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 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.
