Yakima Eviction Risk: Elevated

The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.

It sits 1.8 points above the Yakima County average of 5.7. Adults with no health insurance runs 27.2% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
