Evergreen Eviction Risk: Elevated , Seattle

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. At $2,594 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Seattle commands.

17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Disability prevalence runs 18.8% against 31.5% nationally.

Against King County at 44.1%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. Court records carry 66 eviction filings across 9 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2004 at 2.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

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