Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Prairie Ridge
It sits 2.3 points below the Pierce County average of 5.7. Average gross rent is $1,419, 28% below the Prairie Ridge average. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.4/10. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 52 evictions over 10 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2013 at 3.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 3.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
