Idylwood spans 2 census tracts of Bellevue, WA, population 9,897. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. Filings are well documented here: 50 across 2 observed tracts.
Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. roughly one in four of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, slightly above the Bellevue rate of 23.4%. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 1.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #21 of 21 neighborhoods in Bellevue.
Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Spyglass Hill and Northup score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 5.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
