LaCrosse Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 8,296 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.8/10 · range 5.3–8.1

LaCrosse spans 2 census tracts of Bellevue, WA and houses 8,296 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.8/10, in the Elevated tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Bellevue rate of 23.4%.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 5.3 to 8.1. A 2.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. 22% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Average gross rent is $2,761, 7% above the Bellevue average of $2,572. That places it #3 of 21 neighborhoods in Bellevue. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
