Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Yakima

Adults with no health insurance runs 33.2% against 11.3% nationally. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.

Against the Yakima County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.3/10.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 18 evictions over 1 years of observation. Average gross rent is $977, 13% below the Yakima average.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 4.5% of renter households were served.

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.
