Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Malloy Village
Pulling hardest the other way is court filing pressure at 1.1/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.7/10.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,765, 19% above the Ferndale average. It sits 1.0 points below the Whatcom County average of 5.9.
That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $98,393.
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.
