Shire Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate , Covington

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.5 points.

On the high side, local political climate reads 7.9/10. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 2.3/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 125 filings here across 10 tracked years.

At $2,502 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Covington commands. Filings peaked in 2004 at 9.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 4.1% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
