Lake Stevens Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is economic stress at 2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 32 filings here across 5 tracked years.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.9/10. Average gross rent is $2,460, 11% above the Lake Stevens average. The worst year on record was 2015, when 1.7% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters.

It tracks the Snohomish County average of 5.4 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $126,027. 26% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
