Lakeshore Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,177 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Lakeshore is a one-tract suburb of Lake Shore, WA, population 4,177. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 37% against 23.0% citywide, putting Lakeshore 14.2% over its own city.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.7/10. Court records for this tract carry 29 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 7.7% of renter households.

Average gross rent is $1,990, 11% below the Lake Shore average of $2,241. The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2018, is well off that peak.

At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

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, 3/10 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.
