Kinkade Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,639 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.4/10 · range 7.4–7.4

Kinkade is a one-tract neighborhood of Renton, WA, population 4,639. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.4/10, Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 68% against 31.7% citywide, putting Kinkade 36.6% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.1/10.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 793 evictions logged in this tract.

Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 12.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 10.2% in 2013 against a 12.0% peak. Among the 19 mapped neighborhoods of Renton, it ranks #5 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, Highlands Park and President Park score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,888, close to the Renton average.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $83,500.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
