Burlington Eviction Risk: Elevated

33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Against the Skagit County average of 5.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 33 filings here across 2 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2015, when 1.4% of renter households were served. Average gross rent is $1,598, 8% below the Burlington average.

In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.5/10.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
