Seward Park Eviction Risk: Elevated , Seattle

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 9.5/10. On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Average gross rent is $2,581, 27% above the Seattle average. Disability prevalence runs 18.5% against 31.5% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 56 evictions over 10 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2010 at 3.2% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Seattle. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 84% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

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.
