Elk Plain Eviction Risk: Lower

It sits 2.4 points below the Pierce County average of 5.7. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. The voucher gap is 30.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $2,683, 24% above the Elk Plain average.

That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 12% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.4/10.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.6 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $108,705.

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.
