Yakima Eviction Risk: Moderate

55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Yakima County average of 38.4%. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. The voucher gap is 30.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. 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.

Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 20% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Yakima County average of 5.7 closely.
