Spyglass Hill is a 2-tract neighborhood of Bellevue, WA and houses 8,330 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. about half 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 1.4/10. The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 5.3 to 6.3. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
The filing record is not thin: 8 evictions logged in this tract. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 1.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #19 of 21 neighborhoods in Bellevue.
For a like-for-like read, Northup and Lake Hills score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 20% 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.
Average gross rent runs $2,509, close to the Bellevue average. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
