Wayne Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 6,180 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.5–5.5

Wayne maps to a single census tract in Bothell, WA, population 6,180. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 30.5% citywide, putting Wayne 15.8% over its own city.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10. 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Court records for this tract carry 81 eviction filings.

At $1,969 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Bothell commands. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 2.4% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #2 of 5 neighborhoods in Bothell. The closest comparables inside the same city are Stonehedge Village and North Creek.

Against average income of $125,104, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
