Downtown Redmond Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 5,558 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.2/10 · range 6.2–6.2

Downtown Redmond maps to a single census tract in Redmond, WA and houses 5,558 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. This is a renter market: 99% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.5/10. 9% 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.

26% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, a little above the Redmond rate of 23.3%. That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in Redmond.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Sammamish Valley and Education Hill. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $2,332, close to the Redmond average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
