Mileta is a one-tract neighborhood of Vashon, WA, population 5,202. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.3/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 24 eviction filings.
Against a Vashon baseline of 31.4%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 1.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.0% in 2013 against a 1.2% peak.
At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,673, close to the Vashon average.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
