Van Asselt maps to a single census tract in Seattle, WA and houses 1,317 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 8.4/10, High tier. Against a Seattle baseline of 27.4%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1/10.
At $1,597 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Seattle commands. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Court records for this tract carry 95 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 5.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #15 of 65 neighborhoods in Seattle.
Against average income of $96,250, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 8.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
