Education Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 12,660 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 5.9–5.9

Education Hill takes in 2 census tracts of Redmond, WA and houses 12,660 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.9/10, in the Moderate tier. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Redmond rate of 23.3%.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Filings are well documented here: 191 across 2 observed tracts. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.

At $2,113 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Redmond commands. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 2.2% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #3 of 5 neighborhoods in Redmond.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Sammamish Valley and Southeast Redmond. Rent takes 17% 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.

With little internal variation, 5.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
