Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Larchmont
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. It sits 2.0 points above the Pierce County average of 5.7.
Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. Court records carry 232 eviction filings across 11 observed years.
On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7.1/10. Filings peaked in 2007 at 4.9% of renter households.
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 3.6% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 89th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
