Willows & Rose Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10. Filings are well documented here: 237 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 2.4% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2013, is well off that peak. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Kirkland, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Juanita and Snyders Corner. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.

Average gross rent runs $2,382, close to the Kirkland average. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
