South Lake Union Eviction Risk: High , Seattle

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. 81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Disability prevalence runs 15.2% against 31.5% nationally. Against the King County average of 6.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.6 points.

Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $1,860, 8% below the Seattle average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

On the national scale it lands near the 92nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.4/10. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 47% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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.
