Fauntleroy takes in 2 census tracts of Seattle, WA, population 6,942. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.9/10, in the Elevated tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Seattle rate of 27.4%.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
22% 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. Average gross rent is $1,895, 7% below the Seattle average of $2,030.
That places it #58 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Phinney Ridge and Arroyo Heights score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 15% 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. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 6.9/10 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.
