La Grand Station Eviction Risk: Moderate

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.7 to 6.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.7/10. The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Filings are well documented here: 383 across 2 observed tracts. Average gross rent is $1,557, 14% below the Puyallup average of $1,812.

Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 3.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.9% in 2015, is well off that peak.

Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Puyallup, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Larkspur and Deer Creek score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
