Court records carry 25 eviction filings across 5 observed years. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.9/10.

Filings peaked in 2016 at 3.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
