McKinley Hill Eviction Risk: High , Tacoma

59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Pierce County average of 47.5%. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.9/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 302 filings here across 11 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $1,428, 15% below the Tacoma average. The worst year on record was 2005, when 6.0% 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 3.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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