Mount Vernon Eviction Risk: Moderate

36% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The main counterweight is court filing pressure at 1.7/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10.

Court records carry 7 eviction filings across 2 observed years. At $1,582 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Mount Vernon commands. Filings peaked in 2016 at 1.3% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 72% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 7.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Skagit County average of 5.4 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
