Bryn Mawr Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 9,903 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.5–5.9

Bryn Mawr spans 2 census tracts of Bryn Mawr-Skyway, WA, population 9,903. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. Against a Bryn Mawr-Skyway baseline of 40.8%, 61% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 36%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.8/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10.

At $2,096 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Bryn Mawr-Skyway commands. The filing record is not thin: 119 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 8.0% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 3.1% in 2013, is well off that peak. Only 25% 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. Rent takes 20% 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.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
