Larchmont takes in 9 census tracts of Tacoma, WA and houses 39,034 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 32.4% citywide, putting Larchmont 28.6% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 9 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 6.6 to 8.4, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.8/10. Court records carry 1,314 eviction filings across its 5 observed tracts.
Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.4/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 5.5% of renter households. Among the 23 mapped neighborhoods of Tacoma, it ranks #11 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 2.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Lower Portland and Stadium District score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,618, close to the Tacoma average.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
