Battle Ground Village Eviction Risk: Lower

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 28% of renter households. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.

13% 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. Court records for this tract carry 123 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 3.1% of renter households.

At $1,440 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Battle Ground commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.9% in 2018 against a 3.1% peak. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Battle Ground, it ranks #3 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Cherry Grove and Whispering Pines score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

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

One tract means one number: 3.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
