Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Briarcrest

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 2.3/10.

Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.6/10.

50% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the King County average of 44.1%. The filing record is not thin: 12 evictions over 8 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2008, when 2.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 0.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $159,100, annual rent is just 18%.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.6 points cooler.

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