Spring Beach maps to a single census tract in Seattle, WA and houses 3,486 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 27.4% citywide, putting Spring Beach 28.3% over its own city.
At $2,955 a month, rents sit 46% over what the rest of Seattle commands. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10.
The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 7 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 3.2% of renter households. The voucher gap is 10.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Recent filings have not receded much: 3.2% in 2013 against a 3.2% peak. That places it #41 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle. At 7% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Blue Ridge and Crown Hill score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
