Central Business District Eviction Risk: High , Seattle

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9.5/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10.

79% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.8 points. The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 272 evictions over 10 years of observation. At $2,299 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Seattle commands. Filings peaked in 2004 at 2.4% of renter households.

In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 94th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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