Ravenswood maps to a single census tract in East Renton Highlands, WA, population 3,817. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 66% 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.
70% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the East Renton Highlands rate of 43.1%. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.9/10. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are South Firs and Sky Fire.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,719, close to the East Renton Highlands average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
