Columbia Valley Gardens Eviction Risk: Elevated , Longview

Against the Cowlitz County average of 5.5, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.9 points. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

about half of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Cowlitz County average of 40.6%. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income of $40,413, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. Running hot, economic stress reads 7.2/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 335 filings here across 11 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2004 at 6.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
