South Richland Eviction Risk: Lower

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Benton County average of 5.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.4/10. Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 5% 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. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
