Boulevard Place Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,184 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 4–4

Boulevard Place is a one-tract neighborhood of Fairwood, WA and houses 5,184 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.6/10.

17% 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. Cost burden runs 45% against 38.9% citywide, putting Boulevard Place 5.9% over its own city. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 94 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 6.9% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2013, is well off that peak. At $2,244 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Fairwood commands.

That places it #3 of 5 neighborhoods in Fairwood. Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Emerald Crest and Woodside score within a fraction of it.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $116,216.

One tract means one number: 4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
