Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Salmon Creek

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. 27% 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 high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.3/10.

Average gross rent is $1,896, 16% above the Salmon Creek average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 45 filings here across 8 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2009 at 2.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.7 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 41% of renters.

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.
