Mount Vernon Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against Skagit County at 44.2%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.7/10.

At $1,114 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Mount Vernon commands. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 0.6 points below the Skagit County average of 5.4.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 12% 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 2.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $118,068, annual rent is just 11%. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. 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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
