Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Crown Hill

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Disability prevalence runs 18.6% against 31.5% nationally. Cost burden runs 38% here against 44.1% across King County.

10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 74 evictions over 10 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 1.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.6/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the King County average of 6.7 closely.

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