Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 53073010900
The clearest offset is court filing pressure at 1.1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.9/10. Against the Whatcom County average of 5.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.
13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Model confidence here is 65%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
