East Bremerton Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 3,832 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8/10 · range 8–8

East Bremerton is a one-tract neighborhood of Bremerton, WA and houses 3,832 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, in the High tier. Against a Bremerton baseline of 32.9%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. 24% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

At $1,277 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Bremerton commands. Court records for this tract carry 23 eviction filings.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 2.8% of renter households. That places it #1 of 7 neighborhoods in Bremerton.

Judgments average 2.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Sheridan and Sheridan Park.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $65,583. 55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 8/10 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.
