Lake Stevens Eviction Risk: Moderate

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10.

At $1,854 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Lake Stevens commands. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 40 filings here across 5 tracked years.

The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Snohomish County average of 5.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. Filings peaked in 2016 at 2.4% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $131,563, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least 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.
