Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.9 to 7.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10.
Court records carry 2,262 eviction filings across its 5 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 32.7% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 7.6% in 2006, is well off that peak. Average gross rent runs $989, close to the Bellevue average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $49,966. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.8 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.
