Cost burden runs 37% against 29.6% citywide, putting Deception Pass Shores 7.2% over its own city. 16% 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. Only 16% of units are renter-occupied.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Clearidge and Cap Sante. Against average income of $123,214, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,765, close to the Anacortes average.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
