Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mount Vernon
The clearest offset is court filing pressure at 1.7/10. Set annual rent against average income of $47,390 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10.
The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 32 evictions over 2 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 3.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #9,927 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.
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.
