Horn Rapids Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,128 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.7–3.7

Horn Rapids is a one-tract suburb of Richland, WA and houses 6,128 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 25% of renter households.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,181, 20% below the Richland average of $1,468.

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 5 evictions logged in this tract.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 1.7% of renter households. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Richland, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third.

Judgments average 0.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Hansen Park and Badger Mountain South. Against average income of $107,963, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
