Whittier Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated , Seattle

roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the King County average of 44.1%. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Disability prevalence runs 15.7% against 31.5% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 15 filings here across 8 tracked years.

Adults with no health insurance runs 4.0% against 11.3% nationally. The worst year on record was 2004, when 0.5% 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 0.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
