Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Longview
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,515, 33% above the Longview average.
The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Court records carry 50 eviction filings across 11 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2011 at 1.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 77th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.3/10. It tracks the Cowlitz County average of 5.5 closely. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $87,986.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
