Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brighton
Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.
The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 52% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the King County average of 44.1%. It sits 1.4 points above the King County average of 6.7.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 157 filings here across 10 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 2.8% of renter households were served. 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.
In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 91% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, 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.
