Riverpointe Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 12,731 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.1/10 · range 5.3–7.2

Riverpointe spans 2 census tracts of Auburn, WA, population 12,731. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.1/10, in the Elevated tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Auburn rate of 32.5%.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 5.3 to 7.2. A 1.9-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Average gross rent is $2,118, 19% above the Auburn average of $1,786.

Court records carry 247 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 7.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2013, is well off that peak.

Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Auburn, it ranks #8 by risk, the lower third. Only 24% 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.

The closest comparables inside the same city are West Hill and Shag - Auburn Court.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
