Sky Fire is a one-tract neighborhood of East Renton Highlands, WA and houses 3,961 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 37%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10. The voucher gap is 16.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Average gross rent is $3,107, 14% above the East Renton Highlands average of $2,717. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.9/10. At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, South Firs and Ravenswood score within a fraction of it. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 45% of renter households. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $184,792.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
