Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Geneva
The clearest offset is court filing pressure at 1.1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Whatcom County average of 49.6%. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.2/10. Running cool, housing-court posture reads 2.3/10.
Average gross rent is $1,472, 18% below the Geneva average. The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions over 3 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2016 at 1.1% of renter households.
In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #61,558 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10. Against average income of $100,590, annual rent is just 18%.
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.
