West Kelso Eviction Risk: Moderate , Longview

86% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Cowlitz County average of 40.6%. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.9/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Cowlitz County average of 5.5.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 3/10. On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 11% 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 3.4/10. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $98,309, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,119, close to the Longview average.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
