Evergreen Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 2,964 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.2/10 · range 7.2–7.2

Evergreen maps to a single census tract in Seattle, WA, population 2,964. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.2/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Seattle baseline of 27.4%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

At $2,594 a month, rents sit 28% over what the rest of Seattle commands. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The filing record is not thin: 66 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 2.7% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #45 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle.

At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Westlake and Broadmoor.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
