Wedgwood Eviction Risk: Elevated , Seattle

Severe burden reaches 28%. 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.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.2% against 31.5% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 56 filings here across 10 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2009, when 2.0% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #12,919 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.6/10. Against average income of $137,857, annual rent is just 16%.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.1 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.

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.
