Admiral Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 9,077 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.2/10 · range 6.9–7.6

Admiral is a 2-tract neighborhood of Seattle, WA and houses 9,077 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.2/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 27.4% citywide, putting Admiral 15.1% over its own city.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

The filing record is not thin: 64 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 0.9% of renter households. At $1,828 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Seattle commands.

The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #45 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle.

For a like-for-like read, Evergreen and Westlake score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $137,861, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

With little internal variation, 7.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
