North Garrison Heights is a one-tract suburb of Vancouver, WA, population 4,778. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.2/10, in the Elevated tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Vancouver rate of 31.8%.
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. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.2/10.
Court records for this tract carry 172 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 3.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2018, is well off that peak.
At $1,816 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Vancouver commands. That places it #18 of 39 neighborhoods in Vancouver.
For a like-for-like read, North Image and First Place score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $77,935.
58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
