The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 19.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #8 of 19 neighborhoods in Renton.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,997, close to the Renton average.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $83,784. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 6.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
