Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Poulsbo

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.3/10. At $2,407 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Poulsbo commands.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.8/10. The voucher gap is 17.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2 filings here across 1 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2015 at 0.8% of renter households.

In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 23% 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. Social vulnerability reads 3.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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.
