The Verandas Eviction Risk: High , Tacoma

This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The score leans hardest on local political climate at 7.8/10.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. On the high side, eviction-process difficulty reads 7.5/10.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Cost burden runs 53% here against 47.5% across Pierce County. Court records carry 1,122 eviction filings across 11 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2007 at 5.4% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 4.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #5,730 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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.
