Arroyo Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated , Seattle

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Against King County at 44.1%, 56% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Disability prevalence runs 19.4% against 31.5% nationally. Court records carry 14 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Adults with no health insurance runs 3.8% against 11.3% nationally. At $2,273 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Seattle commands.

The worst year on record was 2004, when 3.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Seattle. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 84th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 2.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
