Prairie Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Cost burden runs 60% here against 47.5% across Pierce County.

Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 118 evictions over 11 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2006, when 6.6% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 5.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.7 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,689, close to the Prairie Heights average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
