Holly Hedge is a one-tract neighborhood of Lakewood, WA, population 4,548. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Lakewood rate of 31.3%.
13% 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. At $1,788 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Lakewood commands.
Court records for this tract carry 57 eviction filings. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.2/10. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 3.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #9 of 9 neighborhoods in Lakewood. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Country Place and Clover Oaks. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $103,834.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.9/10 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.
