NewHolly Eviction Risk: High

2 census tracts · pop 9,910 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.3/10 · range 9.3–9.3

NewHolly takes in 2 census tracts of Seattle, WA and houses 9,910 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 9.3/10, placing it in the High tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 27.4% citywide, putting NewHolly 25.9% over its own city.

Average gross rent is $1,249, 38% below the Seattle average of $2,030. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. 19% 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. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Filings are well documented here: 247 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 5.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2013, is well off that peak.

Among the 65 mapped neighborhoods of Seattle, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Japantown and Chinatown.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
