· range 7–7
Lavilla maps to a single census tract in Seattle, WA, population 5,955. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7/10, in the Elevated tier. At $2,916 a month, rents sit 44% over what the rest of Seattle commands.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. 28% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records for this tract carry 20 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 3.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.5% in 2013 against a 3.1% peak.
That places it #54 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle. Only 25% 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. Against average income of $189,344, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7/10 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.
