Canyon Lakes is a one-tract neighborhood of Kennewick, WA and houses 4,468 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.9/10, in the Elevated tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Kennewick rate of 32.7%.
31% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. At $1,671 a month, rents sit 35% over what the rest of Kennewick commands. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.1/10. The voucher gap is 11.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Kennewick, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Creekstone and Highlands score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $69,407.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
