South Seattle Eviction Risk: High

The dominant input is local political climate at 9.5/10. 57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the King County average of 44.1%.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the King County average of 6.7. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 131 filings here across 10 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2005 at 2.1% of renter households. 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 #7,382 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.2 points hotter.

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