Lake Hills is a 2-tract neighborhood of Bellevue, WA and houses 15,008 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
Against a Bellevue baseline of 23.4%, 31% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Court records carry 123 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. At $2,980 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Bellevue commands.
The voucher gap is 11.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 3.5% of renter households.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2013, is well off that peak.
That places it #19 of 21 neighborhoods in Bellevue. The closest comparables inside the same city are Northup and Spyglass Hill. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $178,592.
With little internal variation, 5.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
