The filing record is not thin: 72 evictions over 5 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,940, 13% below the Lake Stevens average.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Snohomish County average of 5.4 closely.
