Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Twin Lakes

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 78 filings here across 10 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the King County average of 6.7. The worst year on record was 2012, when 3.8% of renter households were served.

Average gross rent is $1,649, 8% below the Federal Way average. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $121,964, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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