Columbia Place is a one-tract neighborhood of Pasco, WA and houses 4,978 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. 72% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Pasco rate of 31.2%.

Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Court records for this tract carry 91 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 148.0% of renter households. At $1,337 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Pasco commands.

The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #4 of 6 neighborhoods in Pasco.

For a like-for-like read, Ainsworth and Bridge-to-Bridge score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $69,141.

34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
