River's Edge is a one-tract neighborhood of Orting, WA and houses 5,668 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Orting baseline of 36.9%, 67% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The voucher gap is 32.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. On the high side is supply constraint at 8.2/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. At $2,719 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Orting commands.
The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The filing record is not thin: 58 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 8.1% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2015, is well off that peak. Only 14% 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.
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, 3.5/10 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.
