Victoria Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,958 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.9/10 · range 6.9–6.9

Victoria Park maps to a single census tract in Renton, WA and houses 4,958 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.9/10, in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.

The severe-burden share is 21%. 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 1.8/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.

Cost burden runs 37% against 31.7% citywide, putting Victoria Park 5.0% over its own city. The filing record is not thin: 326 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 6.7% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.9% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #8 of 19 neighborhoods in Renton.

Average gross rent runs $1,889, close to the Renton average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $98,229. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 6.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
