HOLC grade: A: Best

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Canterbury

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

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Disability prevalence runs 18.2% against 31.5% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,353, 16% above the Seattle average.

The filing record is not thin: 28 evictions over 8 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 3.2% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2005 at 0.6% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 0.3% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #13,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $189,236, annual rent is just 15%.

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