North Beach is a one-tract neighborhood of Seattle, WA and houses 2,679 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 7.1/10, in the Elevated tier. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. 18% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Seattle rate of 27.4%.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 9 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 1.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.4% in 2012, is well off that peak. That places it #49 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle.
Only 15% 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. For a like-for-like read, Whittier Heights and Arbor Heights score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $194,286, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
