Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Central Business District

The dominant input is local political climate at 9.5/10. 87% 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.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Disability prevalence runs 16.4% against 31.5% nationally. At $2,561 a month, rents run 26% over what the rest of Seattle commands.

Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.0 points above the King County average of 6.7. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $170,700.

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