Sumner Eviction Risk: Elevated

24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Cost burden runs 40% here against 47.5% across Pierce County. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.3/10.

The filing record is not thin: 290 evictions over 11 years of observation. It sits 0.7 points above the Pierce County average of 5.7. At $1,776 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Sumner commands.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 3.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 81% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $91,837.

55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
