Wilderhaven is a one-tract neighborhood of Shadow Lake, WA and houses 3,625 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 49%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,569, 48% below the Shadow Lake average of $3,043. Against a Shadow Lake baseline of 47.5%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 139 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 6.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 12.1% in 2013 against a 6.1% peak.
At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 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.
