Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Eastlake

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Against King County at 44.1%, 33% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Disability prevalence runs 14.5% against 31.5% nationally.

72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. It sits 1.0 points above the King County average of 6.7.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. Nationally it ranks #9,433 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Average gross rent is $2,052, close to the Seattle average.

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.
