Badger Mountain South maps to a single census tract in Richland, WA, population 5,632. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.6/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 43% 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.
89% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Richland rate of 26.9%. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Richland, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third.
At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, South Richland and Queensgate score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 9% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,508, close to the Richland average.
One tract means one number: 3.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
