Yakima Eviction Risk: Elevated

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.7/10. At $1,306 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of Yakima commands. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 9 filings here across 1 tracked years.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 3/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when 1.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Yakima County average of 5.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $60,380. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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