Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hurstwood

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 583 evictions over 10 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2011 at 9.8% of renter households.

In a typical year about 7.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the King County average of 6.7 closely. Average gross rent is $1,725, close to the Burien average.

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.
