International District Eviction Risk: Elevated , Lakewood

89% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Pierce County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.2 points.

Set annual rent against average income of $49,803 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.7/10. Court records carry 1,075 eviction filings across 11 observed years. The worst year on record was 2015, when 10.5% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 6.1% of renter households face a filing.
