2 census tracts · pop 10,260 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10
· range 4.9–6.6
Moorlands takes in 2 census tracts of Kenmore, WA, population 10,260. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 32.8% citywide, putting Moorlands 11.5% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.9 to 6.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Court records for this tract carry 45 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 2.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2013, is well off that peak. Against average income of $132,305, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,914, close to the Kenmore average.
33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
