Loyal Heights Eviction Risk: Elevated

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.1/10. 12% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Court records for this tract carry 17 eviction filings. Against a Seattle baseline of 27.4%, 23% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $2,323 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Seattle commands.

The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 1.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.2% in 2012, is well off that peak. Among the 65 mapped neighborhoods of Seattle, it ranks #58 by risk, the lower third.

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 $186,563, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 6.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
