South Lake Union Eviction Risk: Elevated , Seattle

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9.5/10. This is renter territory: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Disability prevalence runs 13.7% against 31.5% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. It sits 0.7 points above the King County average of 6.7. At $2,198 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Seattle commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 87th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.5 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.
