Rainier Trails is a one-tract neighborhood of Enumclaw, WA, population 4,822. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 51%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Enumclaw baseline of 28.9%, 69% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,398, 28% below the Enumclaw average of $1,954. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Court records for this tract carry 80 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 2.6% of renter households. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.8% in 2013 against a 2.6% peak.
At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $119,632, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
