Analysis

What drives eviction risk in La Center

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Against the Clark County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.9 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 9 filings here across 6 tracked years. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 2.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.9% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from La Center rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.7/10.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
