Wenatchee Eviction Risk: Elevated

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. It sits 2.1 points above the Chelan County average of 5.2. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.1/10.

Average gross rent is $870, 30% below the Wenatchee average. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Chelan County average of 32.8%. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
