Overlake takes in 2 census tracts of Bellevue, WA and houses 12,481 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.5/10, Elevated tier. 80% 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 dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6 to 7.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Cost burden runs 29% against 23.4% citywide, putting Overlake 5.8% over its own city.
Court records for this tract carry 79 eviction filings. At $2,254 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Bellevue commands. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 1.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.3% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #6 of 21 neighborhoods in Bellevue. The closest comparables inside the same city are Woodridge and Belridge.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
