South Cliff is a one-tract suburb of Vancouver, WA, population 2,723. The Eviction Risk Score is 7/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Vancouver baseline of 31.8%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 27%. 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 supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 67 evictions logged in this tract. At $1,441 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Vancouver commands.
The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 4.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2018, is well off that peak.
That places it #24 of 39 neighborhoods in Vancouver. For a like-for-like read, Lincoln and Riveridge score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $89,605, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
