Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fairwood West

Against King County at 44.1%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.9/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 50 filings here across 10 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2008, when 4.9% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.4/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
