Bay Hill Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 3,657 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8.4/10 · range 8.4–8.4

Bay Hill is a one-tract neighborhood of Olympia, WA and houses 3,657 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.4/10, High tier. 63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Olympia rate of 34.6%.

The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

This is a renter market: 85% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.4/10. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,566, close to the Olympia average.

One tract means one number: 8.4/10 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.
