Lakewood Eviction Risk: Moderate , Mill Creek

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. At $3,002 a month, rents run 33% over what the rest of Mill Creek commands.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Snohomish County average of 47.3%. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 41 filings here across 5 tracked years. The voucher gap is 12.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 1.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
