South Wenatchee Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against Chelan County at 32.8%, 22% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Against the Chelan County average of 5.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.3/10. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Court records carry 27 eviction filings across 8 observed years. The worst year on record was 2004, when 2.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.6/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $97,984, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler.

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.
