Sara Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,793 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3.3–3.3

Sara maps to a single census tract in Duluth, WA, population 3,793. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Duluth baseline of 23.8%, 8% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.3/10.

The filing record is not thin: 25 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 3.9% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2018, is well off that peak. At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
