Meridian Valley Country Club Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,032 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5.6–5.6

Meridian Valley Country Club maps to a single census tract in Kent, WA, population 3,032. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $3,467, 82% above the Kent average of $1,909.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 29.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8/10. Among the 22 mapped neighborhoods of Kent, it ranks #20 by risk, the lower third.

Only 5% 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. For a like-for-like read, Cambridge and Hillshire Terrace score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $156,389.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
