Puyallup Eviction Risk: Elevated

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. 40% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Pierce County average of 47.5%.

Average gross rent is $1,419, 22% below the Puyallup average. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.6/10.

The filing record is not thin: 136 evictions over 11 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2006, when 2.9% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $95,057, an unusually wide affordability cushion. It tracks the Pierce County average of 5.7 closely.

26% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
