Creekstone maps to a single census tract in Kennewick, WA and houses 5,150 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 32.7% citywide, putting Creekstone 19.7% over its own city.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.
15% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 25 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 2.4% of renter households. At $1,104 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Kennewick commands.
Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Kennewick, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 1.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $54,789. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
