Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Larchmont
Against Pierce County at 47.5%, 36% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is local political climate at 7.8/10.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 278 eviction filings across 11 observed years.
Average gross rent is $1,482, 12% below the Tacoma average. Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.8% of renter households. 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.
In a typical year about 3.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 89th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.8/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.
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.
