The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.7/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The filing record is not thin: 112 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 11.2% of renter households. That places it #33 of 39 neighborhoods in Vancouver.
Judgments average 2.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are East Mill Plain and Columbia Way. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,761, close to the Vancouver average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $102,784. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 6.3/10 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.
