Salishan Eviction Risk: Elevated , Bellevue

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.7/10.

At $3,269 a month, rents run 27% over what the rest of Bellevue commands. Disability prevalence runs 17.3% against 31.5% nationally.

The voucher gap is 22.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 2.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 7.6/10.

Court records carry 20 eviction filings across 9 observed years. The worst year on record was 2009, when 2.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 80th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $223,250, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
