Tehaleh Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 11,601 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.2–3.7

Tehaleh spans 2 census tracts of Prairie Ridge, WA, population 11,601. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Prairie Ridge baseline of 32.1%, 67% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Average gross rent is $3,106, 58% above the Prairie Ridge average of $1,965. The voucher gap is 51.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.9/10.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.6/10. 18% 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. Only 8% 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 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes.

Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $125,616.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
