Livingston is a one-tract suburb of Hockinson, WA, population 4,866. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
35% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Hockinson rate of 28.2%. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. At $1,455 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of Hockinson commands.
The filing record is not thin: 19 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 3.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $133,946, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
