Clover Oaks maps to a single census tract in Lakewood, WA and houses 5,417 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7/10, in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.
Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.
The filing record is not thin: 78 evictions logged in this tract. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.2/10.
Cost burden runs roughly one in three against 31.3% citywide, putting Clover Oaks 3.3% over its own city. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 1.8% of renter households. Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Lakewood, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third.
Judgments average 0.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Chambers Plateau and Country Place.
Against average income of $101,474, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,461, close to the Lakewood average. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7/10 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.
