Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alta at the Lake

Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.9/10.

The voucher gap is 20.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 2.3/10.

Average gross rent is $3,213, 12% above the Sammamish average. On the national scale it lands near the 46th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 10% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.7 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 43% of renters.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $172,450.

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.
