Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wenatchee

The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Wenatchee eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Chelan County average of 4.3 and below the Washington statewide average of 5.2. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is White and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 83rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
