Salishan is a 3-tract neighborhood of Bellevue, WA, population 10,869. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
around a third of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Bellevue rate of 23.4%. 17% 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. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.5/10.
At $2,999 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Bellevue commands. Filings are well documented here: 44 across 2 observed tracts. The voucher gap is 12.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 2.8% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 0.3% in 2013, is well off that peak.
Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Bellevue, it ranks #12 by risk, the middle third. At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 18% 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. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
