Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Emerald Court
about three-quarters of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the King County average of 44.1%. Annualized rent equals 51% of average household income of $29,570, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is renter territory: 92% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. At $1,251 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Auburn commands. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.9/10.
Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.1 points above the King County average of 6.7.
The filing record is not thin: 120 evictions over 10 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2004, when 2.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
