Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Avana Star Lake

The severe-burden share is 33%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 92% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Set annual rent against average income of $49,228 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.3/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10. Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. On the national scale it lands near the 91st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.8/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,680, close to the Federal Way average.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
