Central Business District Eviction Risk: High , Seattle

This is renter territory: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Disability prevalence runs 14.9% against 31.5% nationally.

It sits 1.8 points above the King County average of 6.7. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the King County average of 44.1%. Average gross rent is $1,855, 9% below the Seattle average.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. Nationally it ranks #5,413 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.6 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.
