Dunlap Eviction Risk: High

1 census tracts · pop 3,226 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 8/10 · range 8–8

Dunlap is a one-tract neighborhood of Seattle, WA, population 3,226. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8/10, High tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 27.4% citywide, putting Dunlap 19.2% over its own city.

The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Average gross rent is $1,401, 31% below the Seattle average of $2,030.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. That places it #23 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle. For a like-for-like read, Youngstown and Central Business District score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 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.
