Trossachs is a 2-tract neighborhood of Sammamish, WA, population 10,481. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
The voucher gap is 31.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 28% of renter households. 21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Running hot is supply constraint at 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $3,501, 23% above the Sammamish average of $2,857. Filings are well documented here: 12 across 2 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 7.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2012, is well off that peak. That places it #5 of 6 neighborhoods in Sammamish.
Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Mint Grove and Sahalee. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
