Carleton Park maps to a single census tract in Seattle, WA, population 7,032. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.8/10, in the Elevated tier. Average gross rent is $3,501, 72% above the Seattle average of $2,030.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. The voucher gap is 31.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 27% of renter households.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. 21% 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.
Court records for this tract carry 26 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 2.5% of renter households. That places it #63 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle.
Judgments average 0.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
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.
