| Description |
Renters represent a multilayered cross section of Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County. Many people living in rented homes belong to groups with limited access to economic opportunities, a reality only partly incident to their life stages. Housing outcomes in the Salt Lake area depend on market forces, population dynamics, housing supply, and local policy. This report provides regional and historical context for local renter characteristics, including educational attainment, occupation, income stability, household size, age, and racial and ethnic identity. The Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute analyzed baseline demographic data on renters as part of its Capital City Demographics contract with Salt Lake City. |
