Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Stadium District

This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.3/10.

It sits 1.1 points above the Pierce County average of 5.7. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

At $1,503 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Tacoma commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #13,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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