Meadow Homes is a one-tract suburb of Vancouver, WA and houses 3,611 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 31.8% citywide, putting Meadow Homes 27.2% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Set annual rent against average household income of $42,401 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is a renter market: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,309, 23% below the Vancouver average of $1,702. The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Court records for this tract carry 287 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 4.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.4% in 2018 against a 4.8% peak.
That places it #1 of 39 neighborhoods in Vancouver. The closest comparables inside the same city are Esther Short and Central Park.
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.
