Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Roosevelt

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Disability prevalence runs 16.4% against 31.5% nationally. 52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the King County average of 44.1%.

Court records carry 49 eviction filings across 10 observed years. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.2% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2007, when 2.1% 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 0.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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