Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Washington

The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, eviction-process difficulty reads 9/10.

This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against the Santa Clara County average of 8.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points.

Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 1.3/10. Cost burden runs 53% here against 43.5% across Santa Clara County.

Housing insecurity runs 22.1% against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 25.2% against 17.8% nationally.

Average gross rent is $2,447, 8% below the San Jose average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #2,210 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
