Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West Hill
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. The voucher gap is 31.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.1/10.
35% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the King County average of 44.1%. It sits 1.4 points below the King County average of 6.7. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10.
Court records carry 35 eviction filings across 8 observed years. Filings peaked in 2011 at 4.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #28,095 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 10% 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 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
