Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Copper Ridge

Cost burden runs 73% here against 44.1% across King County. 89% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $47,487 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the King County average of 6.7. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.3/10.

Average gross rent is $1,547, 19% below the Kent average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 614 filings here across 10 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2006, when 4.2% of renter households were served.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
