Little Saigon Eviction Risk: High , Seattle

It sits 2.5 points above the King County average of 6.7. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10.

76% 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. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Disability prevalence runs 19.3% against 31.5% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,597, 21% below the Seattle average. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

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. That is riskier than roughly 96% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 3.3 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 40% of renters. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $76,033.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
