Chambers Creek Terrance maps to a single census tract in Lakewood, WA, population 6,347. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. Against a Lakewood baseline of 31.3%, 67% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. 31% 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.
Set annual rent against average household income of $54,977 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 583 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 5.0% of renter households.
At $1,662 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Lakewood commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.3% in 2015 against a 5.0% peak. Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Lakewood, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
