Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Toppenish

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10.

Average gross rent is $686, 30% below the Toppenish average. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Adults with no health insurance runs 20.8% against 11.3% nationally. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.7/10. Court records carry 3 eviction filings across 1 observed years.

It sits 0.9 points above the Yakima County average of 5.7. The worst year on record was 2015, when 0.6% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 0.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
