Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Eastlake

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Disability prevalence runs 16.2% against 31.5% nationally. Cost burden runs around a third here against 44.1% across King County. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Court records carry 46 eviction filings across 10 observed years. Filings peaked in 2004 at 0.6% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 0.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 85% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.1/10. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $167,865, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the King County average of 6.7 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
