· range 7.3–7.4
Crown Hill spans 2 census tracts of Seattle, WA and houses 9,550 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Seattle rate of 27.4%.
Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. 12% 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.
Filings are well documented here: 159 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 1.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.8% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #41 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle.
For a like-for-like read, Spring Beach and Blue Ridge score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $2,094, close to the Seattle average.
56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 7.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
