University Park Eviction Risk: High

Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.

71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty at 8.5/10.

Court records carry 47 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. At $1,724 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Seattle commands.

The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 1.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.2% in 2013, is well off that peak. Among the 65 mapped neighborhoods of Seattle, it ranks #9 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are West Campus and Fairmont Springs. The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
