Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Gregory Heights
Average gross rent is $2,581, 45% above the Burien average. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. 19% 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, court filing pressure reads 2.3/10.
It sits 1.1 points below the King County average of 6.7. Court records carry 12 eviction filings across 8 observed years. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2011 at 3.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
