Laurelwood Eviction Risk: Elevated , Federal Way

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.9/10.

Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 258 eviction filings across 10 observed years.

At $1,626 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Federal Way commands. Filings peaked in 2008 at 3.7% of renter households.

In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 89% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.8 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 43% of renters.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
