Ridgetop is a 2-tract neighborhood of Silverdale, WA, population 8,498. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Silverdale baseline of 33.1%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.3 to 6.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,153, close to the Silverdale average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $104,868.
54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
