Image Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 5,175 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.8/10 · range 6.8–6.8

Image is a one-tract suburb of Vancouver, WA, population 5,175. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.8/10, Elevated tier. Against a Vancouver baseline of 31.8%, 63% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Average gross rent is $2,212, 30% above the Vancouver average of $1,702. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2/10.

Court records for this tract carry 61 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 2.5% of renter households. The voucher gap is 10.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The most recent observed rate, 0.3% in 2018, is well off that peak. Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Vancouver, it ranks #28 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Burnt Bridge Creek and Fircrest score within a fraction of it.

Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $88,285. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
