Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.

Among the 22 mapped neighborhoods of Kent, it ranks #14 by risk, the middle third. At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Downtown and Stonepine score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $126,860.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.7/10 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.
