Maple Valley Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 84% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.7 to 4.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. That places it #7 of 9 neighborhoods in Fayetteville.

For a like-for-like read, University House and The Cliffs score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,030, close to the Fayetteville average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $52,525.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
