Little Saigon Eviction Risk: High , Seattle

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. It sits 2.1 points above the King County average of 6.7. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Court records carry 195 eviction filings across 10 observed years. The worst year on record was 2006, when 3.4% of renter households were served.

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. In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 95th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.9 points hotter. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 45% of renters.

Average gross rent is $2,073, close to the Seattle average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
