Gold Coast District Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 6,122 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 5.5–6.4

Gold Coast District spans 2 census tracts of Richland, WA and houses 6,122 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Richland rate of 26.9%.

This is a renter market: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 16% 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. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10.

Court records for this tract carry 6 eviction filings. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Average gross rent is $1,252, 15% below the Richland average of $1,468. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 1.0% of renter households. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Richland, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third.

Judgments average 0.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Tri-Cities Research District and Richland Wye score within a fraction of it.

Its 2 tracts score within 0.9 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $67,283.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
