Blaine Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 1.1/10. Against the Whatcom County average of 5.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Nationally it ranks #44,239 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $107,019, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,482, close to the Blaine average.

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.
