The filing record is not thin: 33 evictions logged in this tract. roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, marginally above the Seattle rate of 27.4%.
The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 0.8% of renter households. At $2,215 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Seattle commands. The most recent observed rate, 0.2% in 2013, is well off that peak.
That places it #38 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle. Against average income of $161,896, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
