· range 6.8–6.8
Canterbury maps to a single census tract in Seattle, WA and houses 5,709 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.8/10, in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. 33% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Seattle rate of 27.4%.
Court records for this tract carry 28 eviction filings. At $2,353 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Seattle commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 0.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.2% in 2012, is well off that peak.
That places it #63 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle. For a like-for-like read, Carleton Park and Seward Park score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $189,236, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 6.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
