Washougal Eviction Risk: Elevated

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Clark County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 2.3/10.

The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 100 evictions over 8 years of observation.

At $1,458 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Washougal commands. The worst year on record was 2016, when 7.1% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 4.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
