Central Business District Eviction Risk: Elevated , Seattle

The dominant input is local political climate at 9.5/10. 85% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Disability prevalence runs 14.6% against 31.5% nationally. Against King County at 44.1%, 36% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. That is riskier than roughly 86% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the King County average of 6.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $176,513.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
