The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.4/10.

Against the Benton County average of 5.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 6 evictions over 1 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,253, 15% below the Richland average.

Filings peaked in 2004 at 1.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $110,294, annual rent is just 14%. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.8 points cooler.
