Wynaco Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 11,166 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 3.3–7.8

Wynaco is a 2-tract neighborhood of Auburn, WA and houses 11,166 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.3 to 7.8, a 4.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Cost burden runs 47% against 32.5% citywide, putting Wynaco 14.4% over its own city. Severe burden reaches 36%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. At $2,147 a month, rents sit 20% over what the rest of Auburn commands.

Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 3/10. Court records for this tract carry 44 eviction filings.

The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 3.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2013, is well off that peak.

Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Auburn, it ranks #10 by risk, the lower third. At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Edgeview and West Hill score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $111,415.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 4.5 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.
