Stonepine Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 9,066 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.5/10 · range 6.3–7

Stonepine takes in 2 census tracts of Kent, WA, population 9,066. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.5/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Against a Kent baseline of 32.4%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

At $2,275 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Kent commands. The filing record is not thin: 208 evictions logged in this tract. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.

The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 5.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.3% in 2013, is well off that peak. Among the 22 mapped neighborhoods of Kent, it ranks #15 by risk, the lower third.

Only 25% 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, Shadowbrook Ridge and Fox Creek score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
