Mount Vista takes in 3 census tracts of Mount Vista, WA and houses 12,815 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 27.2% citywide, putting Mount Vista 30.2% over its own city.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.1 to 5.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.2/10. Filings are well documented here: 61 across 3 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 1.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.3% in 2018 against a 1.9% peak.
At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,998, close to the Mount Vista average.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $117,173.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
