Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Washougal

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.3/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Court records carry 31 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,452, 15% below the Washougal average. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10.

It sits 0.7 points below the Clark County average of 5.7. The worst year on record was 2009, when 7.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 7% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.3/10. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $120,813, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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