Foy spans 3 census tracts of Seattle, WA, population 12,566. The Eviction Risk Score is 8.6/10, in the High tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 27.4% citywide, putting Foy 25.8% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.3/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 7.7 to 9.3, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Average gross rent is $1,669, 18% below the Seattle average of $2,030. The filing record is not thin: 88 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 1.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2013, is well off that peak.
Among the 65 mapped neighborhoods of Seattle, it ranks #13 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Rainier Beach and Pinehurst score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
