Woodside Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,649 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Woodside is a one-tract neighborhood of Fairwood, WA and houses 3,649 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 46% over what the rest of Fairwood commands.

29% 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 economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 31.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Against a Fairwood baseline of 38.9%, 29% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running hot is supply constraint at 8.1/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.

That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Fairwood. Only 5% 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 Boulevard Place score within a fraction of it.

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 26% of average household income of $161,149.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
