Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Roy
The heaviest input here 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 0.88x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, a little under the pre-pandemic norm.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 115 eviction filings here over 11 tracked years, with about 1.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.3% of renter households in 2008.
