Admiral Eviction Risk: Elevated , Seattle

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

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against King County at 44.1%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened.

Court records carry 64 eviction filings across 10 observed years. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2007, when 0.9% of renter households were served. At $1,850 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Seattle commands. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.

In a typical year about 0.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #13,349 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. Against average income of $157,846, annual rent is just 14%. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

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