Yakima Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.2/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 2.7/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 11 filings here across 1 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,221, 9% above the Yakima average.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 1.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Yakima County average of 5.7 closely.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $63,285. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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