Yakima Eviction Risk: Elevated

Cost burden runs 26% here against 38.4% across Yakima County. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.5/10.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.7/10. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Yakima County average of 5.7 closely. Average gross rent is $1,050, close to the Yakima average.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $51,938. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
