Broadmoor Eviction Risk: Elevated

3 census tracts · pop 13,462 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.2/10 · range 7–7.4

Broadmoor takes in 3 census tracts of Seattle, WA and houses 13,462 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.2/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Against a Seattle baseline of 27.4%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

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

On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records carry 201 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.

At $2,280 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Seattle commands. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 2.2% of renter households. That places it #45 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle.

Judgments average 0.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Evergreen and Westlake.

Against average income of $168,498, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Its 3 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

With little internal variation, 7.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
