Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Custer
The clearest offset is tenant-organizing strength at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.1/10.
Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 8% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.5/10.
Against average income of $120,886, annual rent is just 14%. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.9 points cooler.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent is $1,364, close to the Custer average.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
