Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alvista Lake Meridian

The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. Court records carry 209 eviction filings across 10 observed years. The worst year on record was 2010, when 5.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 4.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.2/10 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 most pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, 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. Average gross rent is $1,932, close to the Kent average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
