Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Edgewood
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 6.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Edgewood, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Pierce County average of 5.5 and in line with the Washington statewide average of 5.2. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.85x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, a little under the pre-pandemic norm.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 17th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
