Burnt Bridge Creek takes in 2 census tracts of Vancouver, WA and houses 6,143 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.8/10, Elevated tier. Against a Vancouver baseline of 31.8%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Filings are well documented here: 53 across 2 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 2.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2018, is well off that peak.
That places it #28 of 39 neighborhoods in Vancouver. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,725, close to the Vancouver average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $85,128.
With little internal variation, 6.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
