Klahanie Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 13,003 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.2–5.8

Klahanie takes in 3 census tracts of Sammamish, WA and houses 13,003 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs 37% against 27.8% citywide, putting Klahanie 8.8% over its own city. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.2 to 5.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Court records for this tract carry 81 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 4.4% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 6 neighborhoods in Sammamish.

At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $175,848, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $2,876, close to the Sammamish average.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
