Sunset Hill Eviction Risk: Elevated , Seattle

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Disability prevalence runs 16.3% against 31.5% nationally.

The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Cost burden runs 38% here against 44.1% across King County.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $163,836, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
