West Wenatchee Eviction Risk: Moderate

At $1,819 a month, rents run 46% over what the rest of Wenatchee commands. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Chelan County average of 32.8%. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.1/10. The voucher gap is 22.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The filing record is not thin: 8 evictions over 5 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 1.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
