Kennewick Eviction Risk: Moderate

At $2,127 a month, rents run 72% over what the rest of Kennewick commands. The voucher gap is 41.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.2/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.7/10.

It sits 0.7 points below the Benton County average of 5.2. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 3% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $123,389.

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.
