Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Blaine
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 6.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Blaine, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Whatcom County average of 5.2 and below the Washington statewide average of 5.2. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 40th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
