Marrion Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 7,009 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.5/10 · range 6.5–6.5

Marrion maps to a single census tract in Vancouver, WA and houses 7,009 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.5/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Vancouver baseline of 31.8%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Court records for this tract carry 93 eviction filings. At $1,431 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Vancouver commands.

The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 4.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2018, is well off that peak.

That places it #31 of 39 neighborhoods in Vancouver. For a like-for-like read, Columbia Way and Ellsworth Springs score within a fraction of it.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $81,779.

32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
