Forest Villa is a one-tract suburb of Auburn, WA and houses 4,677 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Auburn rate of 32.5%.
30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. That places it #1 of 10 neighborhoods in Auburn. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,823, close to the Auburn average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $71,937. 62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 7.8/10 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.
