Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Issaquah

Average gross rent is $3,501, 35% above the Issaquah average. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.4/10. The voucher gap is 31.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.3/10. 53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the King County average of 44.1%.

On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.1/10. It sits 1.1 points below the King County average of 6.7.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 44 filings here across 10 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2005 at 1.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 0.9% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.5/10.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $186,452.

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