Highland Park Eviction Risk: High , Seattle

It sits 2.3 points above the King County average of 6.7. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Court records carry 194 eviction filings across 10 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 3.6% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 2.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.6/10.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 3.1 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $2,139, close to the Seattle average.

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.
