· range 4–8.4
Oakridge takes in 2 census tracts of Fircrest, WA, population 11,155. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4 to 8.4, a 4.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Fircrest rate of 24.8%. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.1/10.
15% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Filings are well documented here: 571 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 3.4% of renter households.
At $1,386 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Fircrest commands. The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $81,901.
41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
