Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Duluth

It sits 2.7 points below the Clark County average of 5.7. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.2/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.1/10.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.3/10. Court records carry 43 eviction filings across 8 observed years.

At $1,422 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Duluth commands. Filings peaked in 2013 at 4.6% of renter households.

In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $123,472, annual rent is just 14%. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
