Wedgwood Eviction Risk: Elevated , Seattle

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

Disability prevalence runs 19.3% against 31.5% nationally. Against King County at 44.1%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Court records carry 20 eviction filings across 9 observed years. It sits 0.9 points above the King County average of 6.7. Filings peaked in 2012 at 0.8% of renter households.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Seattle. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 0.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $156,920, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter.

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.
