Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Spring Beach

The dominant input is local political climate at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Against King County at 44.1%, 56% of renters here are cost-burdened. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Court records carry 7 eviction filings across 5 observed years. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.9% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2011 at 3.2% of renter households.

In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 7% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $207,738, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

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