Eviction filings
Court-record eviction history
Court-validated eviction filings collected from county clerks and consolidated by the Eviction Lab at Princeton University. Filing rate is filings per 100 renter households.1
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.
Disability prevalence runs 16.4% against 31.5% nationally. Court records carry 33 eviction filings across 9 observed years. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.2% against 11.3% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2004, when 0.8% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.
In a typical year about 0.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.4/10. Against average income of $182,917, annual rent is just 14%. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 0.9 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.
