Norwood Village Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 3,293 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

Norwood Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Bellevue, WA, population 3,293. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.

roughly one in four of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Severe burden reaches 15%. 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.

The filing record is not thin: 52 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 1.2% of renter households. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10.

The most recent observed rate, 0.3% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #17 of 21 neighborhoods in Bellevue. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $2,424, close to the Bellevue average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $132,429.

58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
