Mount Vernon Eviction Risk: Elevated

Average gross rent is $2,153, 53% above the Mount Vernon average. The main counterweight is court filing pressure at 1.7/10.

The voucher gap is 26.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 1.6 points above the Skagit County average of 5.4. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.2/10.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 48% of renters.

Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $82,172.

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.
