Queensgate maps to a single census tract in Richland, WA and houses 3,323 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
At $1,930 a month, rents sit 31% over what the rest of Richland commands. The voucher gap is 28.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Against a Richland baseline of 26.9%, 34% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.8/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. That places it #6 of 8 neighborhoods in Richland.
Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Badger Mountain South and South Richland. Against average income of $125,170, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
