HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fauntleroy

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

around a third of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the King County average of 44.1%. Disability prevalence runs 18.2% against 31.5% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 4.0% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,842, 9% below the Seattle average.

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. On the national scale it lands near the 85th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $164,157, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.
