What drives eviction risk in East Campus
Against King County at 44.1%, 71% of renters here are cost-burdened. Annualized rent equals 50% of average household income of $38,625, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The dominant input is local political climate at 9.5/10. Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points.
Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Average gross rent is $1,604, 21% below the Seattle average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable").

Nationally it ranks #3,082 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
