Rainier Beach Eviction Risk: High , Seattle

Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. At $1,400 a month, rents run 31% under what the rest of Seattle commands.

Against King County at 44.1%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 9.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 3.4 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $68,942. 54% 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.
