Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Graham
Against Pierce County at 47.5%, 70% of renters here are cost-burdened. At $3,017 a month, rents run 44% over what the rest of Graham commands.
The voucher gap is 46.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.7/10.
Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $109,563, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against the Pierce County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.6 points.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 55 evictions over 11 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2009, when 9.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.0% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
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.
