West Richland Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.5/10.

Against the Benton County average of 5.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.8 points. The filing record is not thin: 6 evictions over 1 years of observation. Against Benton County at 42.8%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Filings peaked in 2004 at 11.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 11.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.4/10. Rent consumes only 9% of average household income of $101,726, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.5 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
