Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Glacier

37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Whatcom County average of 49.6%. It sits 2.1 points below the Whatcom County average of 5.9.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.1/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.9/10.

That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 14% 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 5.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $88,430, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.

Average gross rent is $975, close to the Glacier average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
