Central Park Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 4,445 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8/10 · range 8–8

Central Park maps to a single census tract in Vancouver, WA and houses 4,445 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs about half against 31.8% citywide, putting Central Park 21.2% over its own city.

73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.6/10.

17% 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. At $1,321 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Vancouver commands. Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Vancouver, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $63,988.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
