West Campus Eviction Risk: High , Seattle

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9.5/10. Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. 96% 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.

28% 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against King County at 44.1%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened.

Disability prevalence runs 19.3% against 31.5% nationally. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.4/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 3.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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