Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. 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

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Disability prevalence runs 13.6% against 31.5% nationally. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against King County at 44.1%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.1% against 11.3% nationally.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. Nationally it ranks #12,481 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 2.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.2 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.
