Claremont Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,386 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.5–5.5

Claremont is a one-tract neighborhood of Renton, WA and houses 4,386 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $2,887, 44% above the Renton average of $1,998.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.

33% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10.

The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. That places it #18 of 19 neighborhoods in Renton.

At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, One Union Place and Fairwood West score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $201,892, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
