Fairwood Greens maps to a single census tract in Fairwood, WA and houses 4,234 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Fairwood baseline of 38.9%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

27% 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. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records for this tract carry 275 eviction filings.

Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 3.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.6% in 2013 against a 3.6% peak.

Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Fairwood, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $76,484.

44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 5.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
