Country Place maps to a single census tract in Lakewood, WA and houses 5,938 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.9/10, Elevated tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10. This is a renter market: 65% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Lakewood rate of 31.3%.
Court records for this tract carry 559 eviction filings. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.2/10. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 3.8% of renter households.
At $1,657 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Lakewood commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.3% in 2015 against a 3.8% peak.
Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Lakewood, it ranks #8 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Clover Oaks and Chambers Plateau score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
