SeaTac Eviction Risk: High

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $61,340, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. It sits 1.6 points above the King County average of 6.7.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.8/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 607 eviction filings across 10 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 5.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
