Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Aberdeen

The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 8.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Aberdeen, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Grays Harbor County average of 5.1 and above the Washington statewide average of 5.2. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is White and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 95th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 144 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 2.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 3.8% of renter households in 2005.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
