Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sequim

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10.

At $1,074 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Sequim commands. That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 6.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $71,636, annual rent is just 18%. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Clallam County average of 5.7 closely.
