West Edge Eviction Risk: High , Seattle

This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Average gross rent is $2,595, 28% above the Seattle average. Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Nationally it ranks #5,730 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 48% of renters. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $145,642.

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.
