Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Proctor
Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.8/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.2 points above the Pierce County average of 5.7.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Against Pierce County at 47.5%, about half of renters here are cost-burdened.
The filing record is not thin: 29 evictions over 10 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2013 at 3.5% of renter households. 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. Nationally it ranks #13,349 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.4/10.
Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Average gross rent is $1,690, 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.
