Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Finley

The main counterweight is economic stress at 2.4/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.4/10. The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

It sits 0.9 points below the Benton County average of 5.2. Court records carry 21 eviction filings across 1 observed years. The worst year on record was 2004, when 5.5% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 5.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 47th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $84,030, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
