Marine Hills Eviction Risk: High , Federal Way

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $54,464, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10. Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 443 filings here across 10 tracked years. At $1,538 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Federal Way commands. The worst year on record was 2006, when 12.6% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 6.8% of renter households face a filing.

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.
