Van Asselt Eviction Risk: High , Seattle

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

Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.7 points. Cost burden runs 53% here against 44.1% across King County.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $1,597, 21% below the Seattle average. The filing record is not thin: 95 evictions over 10 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 5.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #5,730 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.5 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $96,250. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
