Parkwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Puyallup, WA and houses 3,710 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.8/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Puyallup baseline of 29.8%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. 23% 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.
This is a renter market: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 286 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 8.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.2% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Puyallup, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,743, close to the Puyallup average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $77,063.
One tract means one number: 6.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
