Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hoquiam
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 8.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

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.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 81 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 2.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 4.1% of renter households in 2005.
