Columbia Way maps to a single census tract in Vancouver, WA and houses 2,091 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
Cost burden runs 41% against 31.8% citywide, putting Columbia Way 9.2% over its own city. 15% 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.
Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Vancouver, it ranks #31 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Marrion and Ellsworth Springs.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,622, close to the Vancouver average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $92,679. 48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
