The Madison at Ridgegate is a one-tract neighborhood of Kent, WA and houses 4,213 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 8/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 66% against 32.4% citywide, putting The Madison at Ridgegate 34.0% over its own city.
31% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.
Set annual rent against average household income of $63,854 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10.
At $1,705 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Kent commands. Among the 22 mapped neighborhoods of Kent, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Midway and Hampton East score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
