Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Port Angeles

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.2/10.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10. The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The filing record is not thin: 10 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Average gross rent is $1,039, 11% below the Port Angeles average. The worst year on record was 2014, when 2.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.7/10.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $77,727, an unusually wide affordability cushion. It tracks the Clallam County average of 5.7 closely.
