Pembrook is a 2-tract neighborhood of Mill Creek, WA, population 8,254. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 29.3% citywide, putting Pembrook 31.3% over its own city.
29% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.9 to 5.1, a 1.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Mill Creek, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third.
At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $138,316, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $2,240, close to the Mill Creek average.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
