On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.4/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.0 points above the Yakima County average of 5.7. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

At $838 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Wapato commands. On the national scale it lands near the 83rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, 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.

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.
