Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Maplewood
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 6.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Maplewood, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Pierce County average of 5.5 and in line with 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 0.69x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 23 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 1.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.7% of renter households in 2013.
