Dixon Village is a 2-tract neighborhood of Tacoma, WA, population 8,342. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.7/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs about half against 32.4% citywide, putting Dixon Village 17.7% over its own city.

A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.5/10.
That places it #11 of 23 neighborhoods in Tacoma. The closest comparables inside the same city are Lower Portland and Larchmont. Average gross rent runs $1,619, close to the Tacoma average.
