Pacific Ridge Eviction Risk: High , Des Moines

The severe-burden share is 37%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. 70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

At $1,498 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Des Moines commands. Court records carry 748 eviction filings across 10 observed years. Filings peaked in 2005 at 7.4% of renter households.

In a typical year about 5.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.7/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $58,299.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
