Analysis

What drives eviction risk in The Bluff at Arlinton

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10.

Average gross rent is $2,199, 15% above the Arlington average. The filing record is not thin: 16 evictions over 5 years of observation. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.9/10.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 2.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 77% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.5/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Snohomish County average of 5.4 closely.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $105,800.

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.
