Northup Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,476 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 5.9–5.9

Northup is a one-tract neighborhood of Bellevue, WA and houses 4,476 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in four of renter households.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.5/10.

9% 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. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.

Average gross rent is $2,388, 7% below the Bellevue average of $2,572. That places it #19 of 21 neighborhoods in Bellevue.

For a like-for-like read, Spyglass Hill and Lake Hills score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $208,289, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 5.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
