Malloy Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,540 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10 · range 4.9–4.9

Malloy Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Ferndale, WA and houses 5,540 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. 72% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Ferndale rate of 32.7%.

Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10.

At $1,765 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Ferndale commands. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $98,393.

One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
