Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sweet Water
The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions over 4 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 2.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $137,738, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
