Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Richland

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 2.3/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.4/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 8 filings here across 1 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $1,285, 12% below the Richland average. Filings peaked in 2004 at 1.6% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5/10.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. It tracks the Benton County average of 5.2 closely.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $80,975. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
