Olympia Eviction Risk: Elevated

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10.

54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Thurston County average of 47.2%. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 11% 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 3.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $108,421, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Thurston County average of 5.8 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
