Dome District Eviction Risk: High , Tacoma

76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 2.1/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.8/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Court records carry 90 eviction filings across 11 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,466, 13% below the Tacoma average.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 5.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 2.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 93% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
