Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Chambers Creek Terrance

30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Against the Pierce County average of 5.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points.

Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $54,977, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 66% 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. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.2/10.

Court records carry 583 eviction filings across 11 observed years. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 3.1/10. The worst year on record was 2005, when 5.0% of renter households were served.

Average gross rent is $1,662, 9% above the Lakewood average. In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.4/10.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
