Maplewood is a one-tract suburb of Vancouver, WA and houses 4,592 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 8/10, placing it in the High tier. Against a Vancouver baseline of 31.8%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
This is a renter market: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.
21% 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. Average gross rent is $1,285, 25% below the Vancouver average of $1,702.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records for this tract carry 324 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 5.2% 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.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $50,928.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
