Parkland Eviction Risk: Elevated

Cost burden runs 71% here against 47.5% across Pierce County. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. Court records carry 72 eviction filings across 11 observed years. The worst year on record was 2015, when 2.5% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Pierce County average of 5.7 closely. Average gross rent is $1,768, close to the Parkland average.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $90,168.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
