Cottage Lake Eviction Risk: Moderate

71% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the King County average of 44.1%. Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 2.7 points.

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.9/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 7.9/10.

On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 2.3/10. Court records carry 20 eviction filings across 9 observed years.

At $2,411 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Cottage Lake commands. The worst year on record was 2007, when 3.1% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $173,832, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.9 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
