Gig Harbor Eviction Risk: Moderate

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.3/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10. The voucher gap is 16.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Pierce County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points.

On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 0.8 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for roughly one in two of renters.

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.
