Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fairwood Firs
The score leans hardest on eviction process difficulty at 5.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Fairwood, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the King County average of 5.5 and below the Washington statewide average of 5.2. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 171 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 6.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 12.0% of renter households in 2005.
The tract is racially mixed and ranks around the 58th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
