Olympus Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 5,856 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.1/10 · range 6.1–6.1

Olympus is a one-tract neighborhood of Bellevue, WA and houses 5,856 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.1/10, Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 39%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Bellevue rate of 23.4%. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 50 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 3.0% of renter households.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. At $2,383 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Bellevue commands. Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Bellevue, it ranks #15 by risk, the lower third.

Judgments average 0.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
