Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Esther Short

The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Set annual rent against average income of $56,719 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Against Clark County at 43.7%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened.

The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 58 filings here across 8 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 1.7% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.9/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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