Rainier Ridge Eviction Risk: Lower , Graham

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. The voucher gap is 27.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $2,630 a month, rents run 26% over what the rest of Graham commands. On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.8/10.

Against Pierce County at 47.5%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.7 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. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $123,158.

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.
