What drives eviction risk in Larchmont
Severe burden reaches 35%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.7/10. Against the Pierce County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.
Running hot, local political climate reads 7.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 253 evictions over 11 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2006, when 4.9% of renter households were served.
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 3.7% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #11,988 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
