The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 12.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Pasco, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 4.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
