Carey Place Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,407 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3.1–3.1

Carey Place is a one-tract neighborhood of Lake Morton-Berrydale, WA and houses 5,407 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Lake Morton-Berrydale rate of 20.4%.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.6/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.1/10. Court records for this tract carry 35 eviction filings.

Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 1.4% of renter households. Average gross rent is $2,150, 7% above the Lake Morton-Berrydale average of $2,017.

Judgments average 0.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 15% 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. Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $123,608.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
