Mayfair Eviction Risk: High , Washington

What moves this score most is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Washington eviction laws, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the District of Columbia County average of 7.4 and above the District of Columbia statewide average of 7.4. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 89th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 5,429 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 60.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 105.1% of renter households in 2008.

For a landlord underwriting a deal here, treat timelines and legal costs as the real risk: Washington eviction laws sits in territory where contested cases drag and tenant defenses are well organized, so airtight notices and screening matter more than usual.
