First Place maps to a single census tract in Vancouver, WA and houses 6,756 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.2/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 31.8% citywide, putting First Place 28.9% over its own city.
16% 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. The filing record is not thin: 107 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 4.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Vancouver, it ranks #18 by risk, the middle third. Only 24% 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. Average gross rent runs $1,801, close to the Vancouver average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $94,129.
One tract means one number: 7.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
