Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Briarcrest

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.5/10. It sits 1.9 points below the King County average of 6.7.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.3/10.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 124 evictions over 10 years of observation.

At $2,099 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Lake Forest Park commands. The worst year on record was 2009, when 2.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $125,125.

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