Downtown East Eviction Risk: High , Washington

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 9.5/10. This is renter territory: 86% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.5/10.

At $2,600 a month, rents run 33% over what the rest of Washington commands. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 8.2% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Court records carry 558 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The voucher gap is 12.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2006, when 11.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 6.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 93% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
