Analysis

What drives eviction risk in River's Edge

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.2/10. Against the Pierce County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.2 points.

The voucher gap is 32.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.2/10.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8/10. At $2,719 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Orting commands. The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 58 filings here across 11 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2008, when 8.1% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.4/10.
