Beacon Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,436 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 4.5–4.5

Beacon Hill is a one-tract suburb of Beacon Hill, WA and houses 3,436 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 38% against 24.6% citywide, putting Beacon Hill 13.6% over its own city.

At $1,131 a month, rents sit 40% over what the rest of Beacon Hill commands. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
