Maple Glen Eviction Risk: Elevated

4 census tracts · pop 17,720 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.2/10 · range 5.6–6.9

Maple Glen takes in 4 census tracts of Kirkland, WA, population 17,720. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Kirkland baseline of 26.9%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.6 to 6.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. Court records carry 300 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 3.7% of renter households.

Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #2 of 7 neighborhoods in Kirkland.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Meritage Ridge and Willows & Rose Hill. Average gross rent runs $2,341, close to the Kirkland average.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 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.
