· range 3.2–3.9
Midway spans 2 census tracts of Wollochet, WA and houses 12,380 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Wollochet rate of 27.2%.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Filings are well documented here: 181 across 2 observed tracts.
Average gross rent is $2,158, 13% above the Wollochet average of $1,915. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 3.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.7 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $113,289.
31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 3.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
