Hoquiam Eviction Risk: Elevated

Cost burden runs 30% here against 38.3% across Grays Harbor County. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.1 points above the Grays Harbor County average of 5.0. The filing record is not thin: 54 evictions over 6 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,231, 13% above the Hoquiam average.

Filings peaked in 2005 at 4.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 79th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $70,217. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
