Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Proctor
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.6/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 7.8/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 227 filings here across 11 tracked years. It sits 0.9 points above the Pierce County average of 5.7.
The worst year on record was 2015, when 1.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Tacoma. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.7/10.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,679, close to the Tacoma average.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
