Data Journalist Breakdown
The Bottom Line: Felida lands in the lower tier of our national comparison. That usually means one or two structural constraints, such as extreme weather, higher recurring pet costs, or breed-law friction, are doing most of the damage.
Felida ranks #3154 out of 4,184 analyzed cities nationwide. Inside WA, it currently sits #86 out of 131 cities in the representative state set.
Outdoor access is a meaningful advantage in Felida. At 309 walkable days per year, the local climate supports more consistent routines for daily walks, training, and off-leash exercise than most cities.
Care is available, but it is not especially cheap. Local pricing runs above the national baseline in our model, so routine visits and emergency care are more likely to feel expensive than in mid-cost markets.
Housing and policy matter here too. Renters should budget for roughly $83 a month in added pet surcharges, which puts this market on the more expensive side of dog-friendly housing. State-level preemption reduces the risk of city-by-city breed bans, which is especially relevant for pit bull-type dogs, rottweilers, and other commonly targeted breeds.
Felida sits in clark County, and that local context matters because city-level pet friendliness often swings on county housing pressure, clinic supply, and climate. We do not estimate a strong dog-park footprint here, so the community layer depends more on housing flexibility and nearby alternatives than on obvious off-leash infrastructure. Moderate conditions drive the walking pattern here, with 11 very hot days and 2 very cold days in the annual weather window.
