English Hill is a 3-tract suburb of Cottage Lake, WA and houses 14,414 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
26% 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. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3.5 to 5.5. A 2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Court records carry 34 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 4.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2013, is well off that peak. At 7% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,612, close to the Cottage Lake average.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2 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.
