Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fox Island
What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at 6.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Pierce County average of 5.5 and below the Washington statewide average of 5.2. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.21x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 3 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 1.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.9% of renter households in 2006.
