Moorland Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 10,581 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.1/10 · range 6–6.2

Moorland spans 2 census tracts of Bellevue, WA and houses 10,581 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.1/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in three against 23.4% citywide, putting Moorland 10.5% over its own city.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10. 66% 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 severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.5/10.

Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Bellevue, it ranks #15 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Olympus and Ashwood.

Against average income of $166,237, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. 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 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $2,641, close to the Bellevue average.

With little internal variation, 6.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
