Sycamore is a one-tract neighborhood of Issaquah, WA and houses 6,370 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.1/10, in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10.
Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Cost burden runs roughly one in three against 25.6% citywide, putting Sycamore 5.9% over its own city.
At $2,103 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of Issaquah commands. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 92 evictions logged in this tract.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 1.4% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 1.2% in 2013 against a 1.4% peak. For a like-for-like read, Arbor Springs and Issaquah Highlands score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
