The Highlands of Cedar River maps to a single census tract in Hobart, WA, population 2,907. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. 69% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Hobart rate of 19.5%.
Average gross rent is $1,698, 38% below the Hobart average of $2,726. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.
20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 27 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 3.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.4% in 2012, is well off that peak. Only 16% 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 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
