Columbia Eviction Risk: Elevated , Seattle

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 94 filings here across 10 tracked years. Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 1.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #10,320 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $141,116, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
