Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Highlands Park

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10.

69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the King County average of 44.1%.

Average gross rent is $1,677, 16% below the Renton average. Nationally it ranks #13,349 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the King County average of 6.7 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
