Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown Pasco

The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.4 points above the Franklin County average of 5.5. Average gross rent is $992, 19% below the Pasco average.

Running hot, economic stress reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 62 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2005, when 3.7% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
