Evergreen Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,888 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2

Evergreen maps to a single census tract in Mill Creek, WA, population 5,888. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. Against a Mill Creek baseline of 29.3%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10.

Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10. The filing record is not thin: 75 evictions logged in this tract.

Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 2.7% of renter households. At $2,027 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Mill Creek commands.

Recent filings have not receded much: 2.0% in 2017 against a 2.7% peak. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Mill Creek, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Against average income of $128,493, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
