That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 0.3% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $147,656, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
