Against the Pierce County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.9 points. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Pierce County average of 47.5%.
Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.1 points cooler.
