Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Poulsbo
The voucher gap is 37.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.8/10.
Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.3/10.
Cost burden runs 41% here against 46.1% across Kitsap County. Court records carry 3 eviction filings across 1 observed years. It sits 0.7 points below the Kitsap County average of 5.5.
The worst year on record was 2015, when 0.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
