· range 7.8–9.3
Pinehurst spans 5 census tracts of Seattle, WA, population 22,308. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.5/10, High tier. Against a Seattle baseline of 27.4%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
22% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 7.8 to 9.3, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The filing record is not thin: 164 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 2.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.3% in 2013 against a 2.0% peak.
That places it #15 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle. For a like-for-like read, Rainier Beach and Van Asselt score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,925, close to the Seattle average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $96,670. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
