Union is a 2-tract suburb of Five Corners, WA and houses 11,190 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Five Corners baseline of 25.5%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.8 to 6.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The filing record is not thin: 69 evictions logged in this tract. At $1,863 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Five Corners commands. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 3.1% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 3.9% in 2018 against a 3.1% peak. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Five Corners. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $101,616.
43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
