Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Graham

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 2.4/10. Against the Pierce County average of 5.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.

12% 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 national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 14% 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 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler. Average gross rent is $2,185, close to the Graham average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $101,875.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
