Midlakes takes in 2 census tracts of Bellevue, WA, population 6,286. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. 93% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.5/10.
28% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Bellevue rate of 23.4%. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Bellevue, it ranks #12 by risk, the middle third.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $2,588, close to the Bellevue average.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $153,062.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
