Hough is a one-tract suburb of Vancouver, WA, population 3,605. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. Against a Vancouver baseline of 31.8%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,148, 33% below the Vancouver average of $1,702.
This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 134 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 3.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2018, is well off that peak.
That places it #1 of 39 neighborhoods in Vancouver. The closest comparables inside the same city are Esther Short and Central Park.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $50,821.
One tract means one number: 8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
