Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Browns Point
67% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Pierce County average of 47.5%. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.3/10.
Running cool, economic stress reads 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 27 evictions over 10 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2006, when 1.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Pierce County average of 5.7 closely.
Average gross rent is $2,076, close to the Browns Point average.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
