Columbia City Eviction Risk: Elevated , Seattle

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Disability prevalence runs 15.6% against 31.5% nationally.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3/10.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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