Puget Sound Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate , Federal Way

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10.

37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the King County average of 44.1%. It sits 1.0 points below the King County average of 6.7. The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 11% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,926, close to the Federal Way average.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $124,884.
