Pacific Avenue Eviction Risk: High , Tacoma

Against the Pierce County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.5 points. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The dominant input is local political climate at 7.8/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.

On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

At $1,955 a month, rents run 17% over 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. That is riskier than roughly 92% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 8.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.3 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
