Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Highline
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 9.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Burien eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the King County average of 5.5 and above the Washington statewide average of 5.2. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 174 eviction filings here over 10 tracked years, with about 3.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.4% of renter households in 2006.
The tract is Black and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 86th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
