What drives eviction risk in Northeast Tacoma
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Cost burden runs 35% here against 47.5% across Pierce County. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10. The voucher gap is 18.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 32 evictions over 10 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2008, when 4.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 6% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
