What drives eviction risk in Oakland Madrona
It sits 2.7 points above the Pierce County average of 5.7. 88% 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. Against Pierce County at 47.5%, 61% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $61,508, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. What pushes it up most is local political climate at 7.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.
The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10.
Court records carry 419 eviction filings across 11 observed years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 7.1% of renter households.
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 5.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 93rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.1/10.
