Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Country Place
Running cool, economic stress reads 1.3/10. Cost burden runs 37% here against 47.5% across Pierce County. This is renter territory: 65% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.2 points above the Pierce County average of 5.7.
Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.2/10. Court records carry 559 eviction filings across 11 observed years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 3.8% of renter households were served.
Average gross rent is $1,657, 9% above the Lakewood average. In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
