Alameda Park maps to a single census tract in University Place, WA, population 4,851. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. At $2,497 a month, rents sit 42% over what the rest of University Place commands.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. The voucher gap is 21.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. 29% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, lower than the University Place rate of 34.2%. The filing record is not thin: 37 evictions logged in this tract.
The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 0.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.3% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #7 of 8 neighborhoods in University Place.
Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Mirabeau and Grandview Park.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
