What drives eviction risk in Woodbrook
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. It sits 2.3 points above the Pierce County average of 5.7.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. At $1,177 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Lakewood commands. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.2/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,539 filings here across 11 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2006 at 12.7% of renter households.
In a typical year about 10.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #7,836 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.
