Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tehaleh

Cost burden runs 89% here against 47.5% across Pierce County. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Against the Pierce County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.0 points.

Average gross rent is $2,438, 24% above the Prairie Ridge average. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.4/10. The voucher gap is 18.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. Nationally it ranks #54,273 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.7/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.2 points cooler.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $99,604.
