Affordable & Income-Based Housing in Salt Lake City

The DATA does not include median_rent, median_income, or pct_renter in the external object, so I will write a brief framing without inventing any numbers.

Affordability

Safety

According to FBI Crime Data Explorer, the Salt Lake City Police Department reported a violent crime rate of 878 per 100,000 residents in 2024. Crime rates are not directly comparable across cities due to differences in reporting practices and local definitions.

Getting Around Salt Lake City

The area around assisted properties in Salt Lake City scores 76 (Very Walkable), 61 (Good Transit), and 78 for biking, according to Walk Score. These scores reflect conditions near the affordable housing properties listed on this page, not the city as a whole.

Schools

According to the NCES Common Core of Data, Salt Lake City is served by 96 schools across 17 districts, including 56 elementary, 13 middle, 22 high, and 5 other schools. Ratings and quality vary by school and district, so renters should check the assigned schools for their specific address.

Cost of Living & Affordable Housing

Salt Lake City does not have median household income data available in our current dataset. Housing costs in the city have risen in recent years, making income-restricted rental housing an important resource for many residents.

Lease Lantern tracks 24 HUD-assisted and income-restricted properties in Salt Lake City, covering 1,788 total units. These properties offer rents tied to income limits rather than market rates, which can mean significant savings compared to unassisted apartments in the area.
