Yakima Eviction Risk: Elevated

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. At $852 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Yakima commands.

Adults with no health insurance runs 20.9% against 11.3% nationally. It sits 1.0 points above the Yakima County average of 5.7.

10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 2.7/10.

Court records carry 27 eviction filings across 1 observed years. The worst year on record was 2015, when 1.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 83% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

39% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $53,344.

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.
