Lawton Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Seattle

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Cost burden runs 32% here against 44.1% across King County.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Disability prevalence runs 14.8% against 31.5% nationally. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $160,833, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
