Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Graham
Against the Pierce County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.7 points. The main counterweight is economic stress at 2.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 11%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 46 filings here across 11 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,783, 15% below the Graham average.
Filings peaked in 2006 at 5.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 2.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $118,583.
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.
