Summit Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is economic stress at 2.3/10. 40% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Pierce County average of 47.5%. 15% 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, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 54 evictions over 11 years of observation. At $1,729 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Summit commands.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 4.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 33rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 11% 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 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $121,198, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.3 points cooler.

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.
