The Highlands At Newcastle maps to a single census tract in Newcastle, WA, population 6,330. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
22% 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. Against a Newcastle baseline of 30.6%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10.
Court records for this tract carry 72 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 4.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2013, is well off that peak. Against average income of $163,250, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,251, close to the Newcastle average. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
