Uptown Eviction Risk: High , Seattle

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. It sits 2.1 points above the King County average of 6.7.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Disability prevalence runs 18.4% against 31.5% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,837, 10% below the Seattle average. 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.

That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the WA average is 5.9, so this tract runs 2.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 45% of renters.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
