Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Midway

Against the Pierce County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.5 points. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. 58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Pierce County average of 47.5%.

Average gross rent is $2,347, 23% above the Wollochet average. Court records carry 80 eviction filings across 11 observed years.

The voucher gap is 14.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2007, when 3.6% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.7 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
