Adelaide maps to a single census tract in Federal Way, WA and houses 3,824 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.9/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 34.2% citywide, putting Adelaide 18.9% over its own city.
32% 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. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Federal Way, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Puget Sound Hills and Twin Lakes score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,901, close to the Federal Way average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $103,371.
38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 6.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
