Stadium District is a 3-tract neighborhood of Tacoma, WA and houses 7,679 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.7/10, Elevated tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Tacoma rate of 32.4%.
This is a renter market: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6.8 to 8.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,376, 18% below the Tacoma average of $1,676. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 234 evictions logged in this tract. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 3.0% of renter households.
That places it #11 of 23 neighborhoods in Tacoma. Judgments average 1.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Lower Portland and Larchmont. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $58,885.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
