Rainier Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Graham, WA and houses 6,170 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Graham baseline of 24.8%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 27.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
At $2,630 a month, rents sit 26% over what the rest of Graham commands. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.8/10.
Only 28% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $123,158.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
