University Park Eviction Risk: High , Seattle

It sits 2.6 points above the King County average of 6.7. This is renter territory: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against King County at 44.1%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. At $1,546 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Seattle commands.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 96th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 3.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
